It is exactly about this thing that if you cannot measure or monitor something, you cannot manage it. I also pose the same question regarding pedestrians, and not just cyclists, in the context of incidents where pedestrians were injured or had to step back because a car zoomed by them. These are all indicators that under another set of circumstances, different weather or lighting conditions, one split-second difference in any of these could add another fatality to the statistics. The statistics on fatalities are horrific for every single family. No one can understand what it means unless he or she is part of family that has been affected by it. The statistics that show near misses and incidents are indicators that action needs to be taken on it. Does the RSA follow up on those incidents? Is that part of an action number in the RSA strategy?
