CYCLISTS: SAFETY
21 January 2010: Viscount Falkland asked Her Majesty's Government what measures they will take to make roads safer for cyclists. Replying on behalf of Her Majesty's Government Lord Faulkner of Worcester: My Lords, measures to make roads safer for cyclists include providing better infrastructure, funding cycle training, improving training and testing for motorists and encouraging cyclists to protect themselves by making themselves conspicuous and wearing a safety helmet. Other initiatives such as anti-drink/drug-drive and speeding campaigns, the provision of 20 mph zones and new measures on goods vehicles' mirrors can also contribute to cycling safety....Hansard report |
