Just a suggestion from a bicyclist whose tires are sensitive to all
of the broken glass found on the roads nowadays.

I would like to hear feedback on the following suggestion from both
fellow bicyclists and drivers - hence posting on both net.bicycle and
net.auto.

Since much of the broken glass that I see appears to be the result of
accidents and fender benders (broken headlights) I would like to see
a requirement that all parties in an accidents are responsible to ensure
that ALL debris be cleaned up after the accident. Maybee the police officer
responding to the accident should have as one of the items on his check list
or whatever to ensure that the scene is swepted and policed following 
an accident just as in a laboratory situation where the area is completly
cleaned and policed after any sort of accident. I know that in the labs
where I work that if there is an accident and the area is not swept and
policed, there would H**L to pay! I would like to see the same standards
applied to our streets.

Just A Suggestion From
Mark A. Allyn
