“Why fund one special interest group at the expense of others? You could make roads safe for ALL users, and maintain freedom of choice, by replacing priority with equality as the central rule of the road, as explained at equalitystreets.com“. That was my reply to a tweet from transport minister, Grant Shapps, he who plagiarised and misrepresented our IEA report, Seeing Red, in his semi-literate government report, We’re Jammin’. His original tweet: “Brilliant to see cycling levels increase by around 70% compared to early March 🚴🚴♂️. And really keen to ensure healthy active transport sustained, so am providing councils with funds to install urgent infrastructure to keep cyclists safe – with more of this to come soon! 🚲” – Pah! More funds misdirected. The entire caboodle, from the dysfunctional rules of the road to street design and the driving test, needs reform, to ensure safety and efficiency for everyone.
