The radio presenter has shown himself to be ignorant, presumably by choice. However he does represent a sizeable chunk of the populous. Having driven and ridden in mainland Europe rather a lot over the years it is true that their drivers and riders 'Get' the benefits of lane discipline far better. The problem for us here in NZ of course is that driver training is always going to be a political hot potato. Imagine if there was a 'Drive Forever' scheme along the lines of our 'Ride Forever' programme? Wouldn't that be good?
