Send us a textPart 1 – What should be done about violence against cyclists on Britain’s roads? Last weekend, we were sent some disturbing footage of a driver assaulting a cyclist, seemingly incensed that he was riding two abreast with his fellow members of Swindon Wheelers Cycling Club. Are occurrences like this all too common on the roads, and what needs to be done to change the attitudes of the dangerous minority that cannot share the road safely? George, Dan and Jack discuss. Part 2 – DCS Andy Cox talks about prevention of road crime, and why cyclists should run cameras Following on from the discussion amongst the road.cc team, Jack speaks to DCS Andy Cox, who is the national lead for fatal collision reporting and a prominent voice on social media when it comes to road crime and cyclists’ safety. Andy explains what needs to be done for the UK to sit up and take notice of the 1,800 deaths – many of them preventable – on our roads each year, says why cyclists should be running cameras and talks about his hopes for the future when it comes to reducing road crime
