So much of our infrastructure, planning, environmental, and road safety measures seem to be based around politicians' fear of slightly inconveniencing easily-angered motorists. Pedestrians, cyclists, and public transport users are barely considered in their calculations.

We should copy the Dutch law that always makes car drivers responsible when they hit a cyclist. Not only would it reduce the number of accidents, it would speed up court cases.
