Default Drivers want road test for cyclists (Observer article)

David Cowie wrote in message . ..

5) The demand is for stiffer penalties (above the usual). Note we also
suffer from lack of enforcement of penalties. Even the RAC agrees on
this.


All that's required is enforcement of existing laws on pavement
cycling, traffic lights, and cycle lighting at night. While they're
about it, it would be nice if they would start fining motorists who
use the cycle lanes.

6) The MP, Eric Martlew represents Carlisle but is looking to solve a
London problem. Carlisle is about 800km from London. His argument is
against lack of enforcement. Something he's been elected to solve !


Suddenly Eric Martlew is an authority on cycling because of his
private member's bill. If enacted the bill would destroy any faint
remaining hope of reaching the government's target for cycling, at the
same time dealing a serious blow to public health just when obsesity
in the young is becoming a serious issue.
