BUSES and cyclists.
Two of the biggest obstacles on the road for car drivers.
Some motorists find the two annoying to contend with for many reasons.
Others who take the bus or ride their bike are more compassionate about the bus transit or cyclists lanes on the major roads in Australia.
That is until the two angered each other recently.
A cyclist allegedly attacked a bus driver at Seven Hill’s in Sydney’s North-West and bashed the 64-year-old driver who allegedly had overtaken him in a dedicated bus transit lane on Friday morning.
Put simply, are there too many lanes for alternative motorists on the road?
For buses, for cyclists and some even for heavy trucks.
Should cyclists be even allowed on the major highways of our country or is it a danger that can ramp up Australia’s death road toll?
The cyclists lanes are slim and one little move to the left or right could put them in severe danger and a motorist to shame.
Maybe it’s time for rules for cyclists and buses, who also confuse motorists when given the ‘right away’ when pulling out from a stop.
The most famous case in Australia was when Australian cyclist Amy Gillett died on the road from a hit from a passing motorist.
There have been plenty of cyclists hit. Some have been deaths, some have been serious injuries.
The problem is not just nationally in Australia but also around the world.
What do you think?
