Cyclists and Motorists

Government research has found that motorists and cyclists do not want to share Britain's roads

. In countries like Holland and other European countries, the two drivers are happy to live side by side in unity, but, according to the department of transport, we are not happy to do so in this country.

Cyclists who drive show greater empathy towards cyclists, the same applying to motorists who occasionally took to two wheels for exercise.

Although there are four different types of cyclists; the nervous, side road users, the slightly more confident, those who cycle in the centre of the road and are courteous to drivers, and the fourth, the dangerous cyclists who cycle and dodge in and out, the fourth kind are who motorists feel are stereotypical of the modern day cyclist.

The study found that drivers were often impatient with cyclist, especially if they are stressed due to other factors, which seem s a little unfair on the cyclists using the roads.

The department of transport feel that cyclists and motorists both have an equal amount of rights to be on the UK's roads, but they feel that for both to feel comfortable, we will need to implement a degree of separation, to enable roads to be more representative of those on the continent.

Robert Gifford, Executive Director of the Parliamentary Advisory Council for Transport Safety, said: "This research clearly poses a challenge. No single group of road users is entirely self-contained. "During any one week, we will all be pedestrians; most of us will drive a car; some of us will make a journey by bike.

"We therefore need to develop a more inclusive approach to our fellow road users, seeing ourselves in their shoes as well as our own."
