My concern is of the safety of cyclists.
In light of the recent crash on Southern Cross Drive this is apparent. There have been countless similar incidents.
In a previous life, as for any ambulance officer, I have seen first-hand the effects of injury and death.
Safety solutions
Saying the way to stop accidents on Southern Cross Drive is for motorists to put safety first is a bit like saying that we don't need guards on machinery in the workplace as people ought to know not to put their fingers in there (Letters, March 18).
The fact is cars on Southern Cross Drive are doing four times the speed of cyclists and the inevitable will happen. I stopped riding that route when the M5 was built. What has happened is tragic and the NSW government is at fault for not stopping cyclists.
