In light of that, do you accept the findings of the TfL study in 2010 that showed that, for accidents involving cyclists, motorists were responsible for three times as many as were the cyclists themselves, bearing in mind your suggestion at the last Mayor's Question Time that cyclists were largely responsible through road infractions?

I will give you a specific example: Henly's Corner.
