The government is proposing a potentially troublesome piece of legislation concerning cyclists' use of cycle facilities. As I understand it this law would go beyond mere encouragement of cyclists to use facilities where provided by leaning in the favour of other road users if an accident with a cyclist did take place when the cyclist was using the road where a separate provision was provided.
In nofear.org's view, regardless of the flaws in the safety argument in favour of the proposal, is that this new modification to the Highway Code is unnecessary. In addition it will complicate a difficult to regulate set of laws still further.
