There kinda needs to be an entire overhaul of everyone's 'driving' principles to remove the predjudices and bad habits this goes for motorists as well as cyclists, maybe a 4 day refresher course, compulsory like jury service?
It is obviously better to make sure everyone gets coaching before going on the roads, the CPT obviuosly being the cycle equivelent of the CBT.
The problem is that as much as cyclists and motorists should wise up to needs and safety of the other, it would have to happen in tandem for it to work.
Cyclists in general, have to share the roads but mostly with motorists who can't or won't, making it unnecessarily dangerous at times to do something basic like, taking my 6 year old daughter to school.
What people have difficulty in accepting is that motorists feel it is only or primarily the cyclist that has to give way on this issue.
Therein lies the rub.
