    Are you suggesting cars should be banned from the road then?

    Huh? Are you suggesting horse-riders and cyclists be banned?

    It's about time that cyclists & horse riders should all have some sort of licence to be on the public roads.
    AND pass some sort of test..................

    Interesting. You realise most already have a drivers licence?

    This person has a licence,yet managed to kill someone with a stationary car.
    Once again focusing on the 'low impactors' is a waste of time.
    Motorised vehicles are the real danger of the roads.

    Z1a in post 15 seemed to be suggesting that horse riders should be banned from the roads.

    I commented on that post, suggesting it would be more appropriate to ban cyclists.

    Your comment seemed to suggest that we should ban cars! So I simply wondered if it you were making a serious proposition.

    Well I think we can safely ignore your input from now on.
    People will continue to die on the roads.

    You think it would be more appropriate to ban horses from the road than to ban cyclists?

    do either cause an issue day to day causing deaths and injuries to others?
    no,so neither group are 'appropriate'
