Cars to blame in most accidents involving cycles, says research calling for new road rules | The Australian

Cars to blame in most accidents involving cycles, says research calling for new road rules | The Australian: "NEARLY nine out of 10 accidents involving cyclists and cars in Australia are the fault of the motorist, new research has found.

The research also recommends introducing new road rules enforcing safe passing distances for cars.

Drivers were at fault in 87 per cent of incidents with cyclists and most did not realise they had behaved in a reckless or unsafe manner, according to the Monash University Accident Research Centre and The Amy Gillett Foundation."
