What is sad is that as recently as 30 years ago we were teaching this in the grade schools and reinforcing it as they moved through the school systems. <br /><br />Many times people complain about the abilities of drivers in the US and the lack of education. Here is a golden opportunity, start teaching children in grade school proper cycling skills, pedestrian skills and introduce them to traffic laws. Continue to reinforce those skills until they hit high school then require additional hands on training and testing.<br /><br />I know pie in the sky thinking. But something has to be done to stop the carnage on US roadways.<br /><br />Aaron2whls3spdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16954543886269776858noreply@blogger.com
