Scares the life out of me being a pedestrian in Holland when we were there in the summer. Bikes going in both directions on the cycle lanes on both sides of the roads. THEN the chuffin’ mopeds and scooters that go on them too.
Anyway, my point to reduce casualties on the roads is to take all incidents as seriously as the airlines do: Road Accidents Investigation Bureau like the AAIB. A report with serious clout with a fine if someone is negligent and recommendations that have to be adhered to, including updates for all drivers.
Not sustainable economically, but maybe the fine levied on the overturned lorry on the M25 and the disruption it causes ought to be related to the loss of GDP the congestion causes. That’ll larn em.
