MtF simple answer rewrite the Highway Code to encompass every possible 'what if' scenario which includes guidance for all road/pavement/ crossing users in the event of every possible infringement. No problem if it runs to tens of thousands of pages. BTW in the 20 minutes it took me to get home tonight: (2 (1) E scooter rider mounted and continued to ride on the pavement. (2) E bike ride without lights, swerving onto the wrong side of the road to cut off a bend and had to swerve back to avoid a head on collision. If that had been a fatal collision, what is the bet that the police would have victimised bus users by closing off the road? (3) Another cyclist without lights. Police need to get off their backsides and ensure that they are working 24 hours a day (collectively)on every street to enforce road regulations. if it takes a million + extra pace, it is worth 90% pay cuts to protect people's lives. Alternatively cyclist could start behaving responsibly. Alternatively, if the minority of cylists/scooter riders insist on not giving a toss about anyone but themselves, seize and scrap every scooter in the UK and make Deliveroo rider who seem to be the worst offenders either walk or catch a bus to make their deliveries.
