Victim blaming alive and well

Yeah, so now the coroner says all cyclists should wear hi viz.

Next it'll be us.

Then women will be forbidden from wearing skirts, as it causes men to commit sexual assaults.

Yes, victim blaming is alive and well in Godzone.

The Campbell Live poll tonight where 75% of respondents voted for the introduction of compulsory Hi-Vizzzz for cyclists just shows how the average it's-got-fuck-all-to-do-with-me Kiwi views the subject. We're fucked.

Yeah, bring in a law against someone else and we're all for it. But no more laws against us, thanks.

The woman at the safety shop on Campbell Live thought it was a great idea. She must know, she sells those glow vests so she knows a lot about safety

How about compulsory single file cycling, how about banning cyclists on narrow rural roads with blind corners (no amount of hi vis will help avoid a bike in the middle of a lane around a blind corner). You can't tell me that all cyclists who are hit are riding responsibly.
