Re: London not to include motorcycle in it's traffic congestion strategy
I was expressing a view. (Some) Pedestrians are a menace! Bring back the Green Cross Code!

Re: London not to include motorcycle in it's traffic congestion strategy
Anyone remember Tommy...?
Those deaf, dumb and (peripherally) blind kids sure surf a mean internet.... Head down, both hands in front, eyes focused on a small screen, ear plug delivered music drowning out ambient sound, its a wonder so few of them are killed. |

Re: London not to include motorcycle in it's traffic congestion strategy
If we are serious about protecting pedestrians we would consider waist high railings along the sides of all the roads in our town centres with gaps only at specific crossing points. They would look awful but in the long term probably work out a whole lot cheaper than dealing with casualties and it would help keep traffic moving.

I'd rather ride through flock of Yorkshire sheep than London pedestrians. Possibly coincidence but I've had a few close shaves with Chinese tourists as well.

Re: London not to include motorcycle in it's traffic congestion strategy
Unfortunately too many pedestrians and cyclists seem to think highway code does not apply to them, they are under the impression that if they have a mix up with a vehicle that the vehicle will always be a fault.

Re: London not to include motorcycle in it's traffic congestion strategy
Cyclists perhaps. Many pedestrians just don't think at all.

I was trying to turn left at a roundabout last week and every time I had an opening from the right I couldn't move because of the succession of cyclists that continued to make their way up my nearside, despite an array of nearside indicators and my front wheels being turned to the left. In the end I simply moved slowly forwards, blocking the traffic on the roundabout and eventually taking two of the cyclists left with me, which for some reason they didn't seem to appreciate....... |
