Cyclists collectively scored 70 per cent in Road Safety Week quiz compared to 58 per cent of drivers
Cyclists have a better knowledge of road safety than drivers, a study has found.
A Cambridge law firm, Irwin Mitchell, quizzed 7,000 people on the issue as part of Road Safety Week and the results reveal that much of the population is well versed in correct road etiquette and the laws – though there is still a large number who are unaware of correct behaviour.
Of the eight questions asked, however, cyclists scored 70 per cent correctly with drivers scoring only 58 per cent.
The results demonstrate, according the law firm’s partner Neil Whiteley, that “there is a need for motorists in particular to be more aware about the rules governing cyclists on UK roads.”
He added: “Often there are issues between road users which may arise from a lack of understanding about the correct approach or rules that apply to each other.”
