Cyclists are just as bad as vehicle road users though.... I regularly see them cycling the wrong way down a one way street, or cycling through red lights thinking they don't apply to them!0

Some cyclist do that sort of thing, but how is that equivalent to endangering other people's lives by poor driving?0 -

And I regularly see motorists on the phone, driving through red lights thinking they don't apply to them (and do note amber = stop unless unsafe to do so, not speed up) as well as tailgating, speeding, undertaking, changing lanes without indicating, parking on pavements etc etc
There are good and bad in all road usersSam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness:
People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

No calibrated method of measuring such as sonar you mean?
That's the Government's excuse as well, no legislation because it's too difficult to measure.0 -
Sonar doesn't have the resolution at such small distances. Even radar would struggle.0

Rubbish. The sonar above has a 1" resolution, and the instrument that Bath University use has 1mm resolution. This Lidar has a similar accuracy. How much resolution do you think you need?0 -
You do realise that LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is a LASER device?
Names a bit of a giveaway really0 -

I didn't say it wasn't. Your assertion was that the gap can't be measured, but sonar is already being used by Tenessee Police and Bath Uni, and radar or lidar would do too.0 -
