Are women cyclists in more danger on the roads than men? According to a BBC report they are?
Hmm... I think they really are. Women are women. What I mean is women are naturally gentle to be hitting the road.
Most of the motorists are male and they are more "aggressive" when driving. A male knew what another male is thinking. We can apply this on the road.
If we look in the physical aspect, a male is really more physically suited to more complex locomotion than a female. Based from what I have read on the news, "The report said that male cyclists are generally quicker getting away from a red light - or, indeed, jump red lights - and so get out of the danger area" . That really explains a clearer cause of certain danger of women on roads than men.
Most women are nervous riding a bike and can be another factor too. Males are more confident and aware about traffic signs. According to Marian Louise Noonan, 32, from south London, his husband is aggressively aware about traffic signs when cycling and makes sure that he is in a safe position if someone hits him.
The government should really have policy for intense protection for women on the road. If taken much actions, there will be much less accidents involving women.
Yes, As woman are less agressive cyclist - cycling in the city is a highly dangerous activity. As a Cyclist there is no place for Motor Vehicles and Bicycles on shared roads.
It is not red light jumping which makes men safer at traffic lights, it is the fact that they are more likely to be in a primary position (ie in the middle of the traffic lane) when waiting at the lights. This means that following drivers are far less likely to overtake and turn left. It is this overtaking and turning left by drivers that cause fatalities, not cyclist filtering down the left side of the HGVs.
Cycle lanes are not the solution, they are often badly designed and put cyclist in more danger. There should be Advanced Stop Lines at all traffic lights and ALL driver should know and obey Rule 178 of the Highway Code. Casual observation suggests that women cycle more cautiously and are thus perhaps more likely to wait inside rather than outside at lights, and similarly might be less likely to nip away smartly.
A quick inside getaway might put the cyclist back into the drivers's field of view. Thereby decreasing the risk of accident.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
