Aye, drivers have so completely undermined the idea of obeying road
rules that it would not be a surprise to find that everyone else had
given up as well.

As it happens, though, TRL's *objective* data (as opposed to your
wank-fantasy) shows that cyclists are actually *more* likely to obey the
law than drivers.


I love the way that you agree with TRL on some of their reports - and
yet you find that others are not to you liking:

eg I am sure that you will agree with their findings regarding cycle
helmets:

Main findings
Assuming that cycle helmets are a good fit and worn correctly, they
should be effective at reducing the risk of head injury, in particular
cranium fracture, scalp injury and intracranial (brain) injury.
Cycle helmets would be expected to be effective in a range of accident
conditions, particularly: the most common accidents that do not
involve a collision with another vehicle, often simple falls or
tumbles over the handlebars;
