Couldn't agree more. That was the intention from the very beginning, and now that that's become obvious, it's no surprise that >90% of the remaining supporters of URCM as it currently is are the ones who are notorious for their intolerance of those nasty opposing viewpoints which they know deep down to be correct. (Otherwise why would they not simply ignore or debate with those expressing the opinions, instead of making such an effort to censor them?)

They know speed cameras endanger road users and they know cycling helmets save lives. But no-one is allowed to remind them of those things. It's so, so pathetic.
