Motorcycles banned from bus lanes over other people’s crashes

Motorcyclists are to be booted out of bus lanes following a rise in cycle collisions, despite not being involved a single one.  A report on a trial of motorcycles sharing bus lanes with cycles in Ealing, London, says: “Whilst there were no direct collisions between a motorcycle and a pedal cycle, it is suggested that there must be a causal...
