A fair proposal and frankly the only one I have heard to date... all other proposals have simply fallen back on "well cyclists will seek knowledge." Which is pure BS... experienced cyclists may seek more knowledge, but they have already achieved a minimum of training by the school of hard knocks. The new cyclists are the ones that most need this knowledge and are the least likely to seek it.
Thanks again, Bruce.
Now of course the downside is that this primarily addresses those that drive... how about folks younger then drivers?
