I just see the current system as lacking in resources... We all do what we can do with the time we have to do it...<BR>
<BR>
Edcuation on a large scale of all road users about basic vehicular skills would great but I just don't see it happening. <BR>
<BR>
My dream is a bit smaller these days.. Teach cyclists to ride in a reasonable, law abiding manner and members of the road community will expect cyclists to ride in a reasonable, law abiding manner. <BR>
<BR>
As it is, I think most motorists, me included, have no expectations of reasonable behavior from someone on a bicycle and so treat cyclists as "loose cannons" that just might do anything.<BR>
