HISTORIC Dutch towns, with areas flattened by enemy bombing, needed wholesale post-war reconstruction, providing the opportunity for entirely new road-systems. Does your correspondent, Eligius Rebbeck, wish Hereford had suffered the same fate?
He refers to 'ignorant drivers' causing deaths through carelessness.
Tragic as any fatality always is, however rare, I doubt they are always entirely the fault of the driver concerned.
Of course, cyclists are "also entitled to use the road": they are also required to observe the Highway Code while doing so.
