    State resorts to significant road rule change over increased road-related incidents

    Any fatal accident is a tragedy for the family and friends of the deceased. However I recall working with a cyclist who was injured in a accident with a government bus. He was adamant that the fault lay with the 'inattention' of the bus driver and this was the basis of a campaign by cyclists...
