About time too, it just requires common sense.

If the council actually invested in slip proof road surfaces, rather than stupid cycle lanes that no ones uses, the roads may become a safer place for all. My main car is equiped with traction control and ABS and still slides all over the place even when taking it easy- why?? - because the current road surfaces are sub-standard and very very oily when wet!!! Modern cars are much heavier and more powerful than those of past and sometimes ABS just isnt enough in the wet - my 2nd car is an old Fiesta Si and that has no problem in the wet without all these safety gizmos. It's time the council invested in tangible safety rather than stupid flashing warning signs and cycle lanes !!!!

I have access to various vehicles and never slide, there is nothing wrong with the road surfaces, except pot-holes.
Saying cycle lanes aren't used is a complete lie, i use them, and so do many others.
Cycling is growing year on year, the more lanes the better.
I cant wait till all cars are banned from the city centre, and fuel is B#2 litre.

you need a slippery road surface so you can do handbrake turns,because you can never find a roundabout because of all the cycle lanes.
i bet they have got anti slip surfaces.

Skid Mark you are right- they have a decent grippy surface (which they never use) and we are left with pot hole ridden ice rinks !!! The other day I nearly hit a cyclist who was riding in the dark, whilst it was raining, he had no lights on and was riding alongside an emtpy cycle lane !!! Idiot !!! The thing is it would have been my fault if I had hit him - good job I can drive and am not some stupid woman who can't drive to save her life !!
