Even if it prevents 1 less accident, one less death, one less families grief, its worth it imo.
That's great news - they rightly deserve some recognition for taking these steps. £1m over 3,000 vehicles is around £350 per vehicle - less than the price of a tank of gas, I'd imagine, so it just goes to show how little operators need to spend to help make roads a safer place, and help save lives.
Driver Training
Lesson 1
Cyclist are human beings just like you.
Cyclist are allowed to be on most roads just like you.
Lesson 2
When approaching a cyclist take your foot off the gas pedal and cover the brake. If need be, slow down and prepare to stop. Cyclist need room and time to avoid being under your wheels and your time is not more valuable than a life destroyed.
Lesson 3.
There are dickhead cyclist just as there are dickhead HGV/bus/delivery van/car drivers. They may do things that are unexpected. Therefore go to Lesson 2.
That will be £20,000 consultant fee and £25,000 training fee.
Thank you
All very fine, but I'm not sure how useful the warning, audible or otherwise, is when the driver charges past me, then pulls left, which is the bigger issue for someone who doesn't 'filter' up the left. Maybe the training helps, but enforcement would be nice as well.
Good for them! Can we have more cyclists training themselves too?
