Cyclists don't count as road users, argues Chris Grayling transport secretary

[User16390]

Looks like Chris Grayling needs to read the Highway Code.

He made a statement today "where you have cycle lanes, cyclists are the users of cycle lanes,” and then said "And there’s a road alongside – motorists are the road users, the users of the roads. It’s fairly straightforward, to be honest.”

What a tool.

I was going to say, someone shoot him, but that's not a reasoned, responsible comment.

 

[ianrauk]

Not even worth of a comment.

Oh yes it is.

Shut up you div.

He's the guy who thought prisoners shouldn't have access to books, I think. And look how prisons have thrived since.....

FFS.
If you are going to be Government minister, at least get a grasp of the brief.

Is it because we don't pay 'road tax'.

Punitive segregation and he doesn't like books. Difficult to read about the law and history with the latter affliction. Less able than Gove. No more attractive.

Also condones drink driving

Trucks are bigger than cars and pay more road tax. Trucks even use more road than cars. Trucks are real roadusers.

Because he's in charge of something which is important to most people 'Transport'.

I might have argued this before but, if you campaign for segregated facilities, the potential consequence is that you create the opportunity for other people delegitimising our road use.

Please feel free to argue it repeatedly and vociferously.
