I believe these infernal devices are designed to suit Americans who traditionally enjoyed bench front seats, and had auto gearboxes so never needed the 'emergency brake' for hill starts. With this brake, to engage it without a ratchet noise, or to disengage without a clonk requires coordination of left foot and right hand. I generally put up with the noises.

So what have primary school kids to do with this? Are you suggesting that teaching roadcraft to primary school kids is worthless? If you are then I will disagree, big time! When you consider many attitudes to road safety are set by the age of 11, I aim to influence as many as possible!
As I understand it John Lyon over hyped his own qualifications and had to change his website after Trading Standards became involved! If this is true then I think it is hilarious!

I have not heard that about john lyons.
There was no roadcraft when I did cycling proficiency and as I understand they can't make there mind up how you deal with roundabouts on a push bike inside/outside etc.
