YOUNG ONES STILL IN THE SHADOWS

Sorry if some Brigg Blog followers think we've been a bit harsh with comments on cyclists, particularly The Young Ones.
Earlier today I observed, in my car's rear-view mirror, a teenaged two-wheel devote come down the A18 (Barnard Avenue) on the road, not the path.
Great to see, I thought.
Sadly, he then ignored the red light, took a left turn and sped off down Wesley Road.
Another example: Mum and young daughter together, both on cycles, using a minor road in Brigg. Hearing a car approaching behind them they slowed down, slowed down even more, then veered into the kerb (no hand signals observed). After the vehicle had gone by, they executed a right turn.
In the far off days when Brigg police oversaw Cycling Proficiency in the Glebe Road School playground, using circular tins of dubbin to mark out an imaginary road, more time was expended on learning to turn right correctly than any one. And quite rightly so.
How is such valuable knowledge imparted today?
