add up the cost of the accidents and spend a sensible amount to reduce them dramatically. So if the 80 deaths cost the country say £160M (£2m loss per death , cost of emergency service, investigation loss of earnings etc) Spend £160M on making sure such accidents don't happen. In 5 years time you will have £160m more to spend.

Free cycling lessons for Londoners?

Free driving lessons for drivers, many of whom seem to have forgotten everything they learned before they passed their test? You know, basic things like indicating, overtaking only when its safe to do so (and not within a foot of cyclists) and turning across the path of other road users?
