This.
I ride my bicycle on the pavement in some places as it is a lot safer than the road, but I go at walking pace and always give way to pedestrians. Giving horses, cycles, other slower road users plenty of space and consideration, as I would want others to do to me, is only fair.
Bring back Public Information Films about the Green Cross Code (perhaps using someone a bit more "now" than Alvin Stardust or Dave "Darth Vader" Rowse), cycling proficiency tests and Tufty! Younger users will have to use something called YouTube to look these up...
Ignorant bottom feeders will not remember the Highway Code unless reminded on a regular basis, no matter what form of transport they use. Sad really.
