Amazing that when something like this happens, no cyclists (even bonkers Cambridge ones) call for guided busways to be banned or restricted in any way, yet every time there's a cyclist/motorist collision (even when it's the cyclist's fault), we get hysterical calls for absurd restrictions to be placed on all drivers.

It's almost like such people are driven by an ideological dislike of cars and the freedom they give people, and "safety" is just used as a handy excuse, isn't it?
