The irony of illegally taken photographs being used to demonstrate "illegal" behaviour by bus drivers is ironic. And amusing. What gives you the right to break the law to demonstrate others allegedly doing the same? I have read this and other threads and pieces on cycling accidents - especially in Cape Town. The fact is that there is certainly a problem, but until there is mutual respect between cyclists and other road users, nothing good will happen. Accidents will continue to occur and Newton tells us that cyclists will (almost invariably) come off the worst. The majority of reaction to yesterday's tragic accident on this thread has been kneejerk and (perhaps understandably) emotional. Not all GABS drivers are murderers. You know very little of the GABS training programme, yet you make rash assumptions, judgements and statements. Do you think the driver in question did it deliberately? How do you think he feels, having been involved in an accident which took a young man's life? You are looking at this solely from one side. That's unhelpful. Things need to settle down a little if any coherent and progressive response is to come from this incident. Just saying. Anne Observer. (sometime driver, sometime cyclist, not been on a bus for years)
