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.
