Minister’s call for cyclists to behave is more headline-grabbing hypocrisy

A Highway Code prompt aimed solely at cyclists - not to the road users that caused more than 99% of deaths on UK roads last year - has nothing to do with improving safety

On Friday, transport minister Jesse Norman wrote to cycling leaders asking them to remind their members to follow the Highway Code. The letter came less than 48 hours after the announcement of a review on whether the law should be changed to tackle dangerous cycling.
