You can come up with statistics to prove anything Kent, forfty percent of people know that.
Joking aside, the stats on vehicle collisions caused by cyclists or motorcyclists would be interesting to me, because I don’t think the majority of complaints about cyclists are about them potentially crashing, but about riding in such a way as to potentially cause a crash between one or more cars.
With that said, I generally fall in the group of defending cyclists - I agree that the onus is on motorists to treat cyclists with respect, but it does go both ways. I’ve been startled by cyclists pulling out of side streets with no warning and without looking where they’re going on a number of occasions For example - that can’t be safe.
