PERSPECTIVE: This year 262 have died on NSW roads, 70% were male, and 70% were in rural areas — 36 pedestrians were killed, and 10 pedal cyclists. As far as we can tell nobody was killed by a cyclist. The real threat is still vehicles, and the NSW Government needs to keep its focus on vehicle, driver and road safety programs and messages. That is all. The attacks on cycling by the shallow–end media and the Roads Minister must stop. The absolute focus should be on reducing the death toll, making roads safer for everyone, taking the heat out of congestion issues and aggravated drivers and stop seeking out scapegoats.
