What a good thing that cars have colours or they would be untraceable
like cyclists. Woman in a red car, who left the scene of the accident
- easy to find her.
Cyclist too thick to remember a 7 string of numbers & letters.


Doh!

Dave - intelligent enough to realise that a push bike is a kid's toy, not a
viable form of transport.


Just imagine yourself as a cyclist (yes I know that you 'grew' out of
it, but suspend disbelief). You are cycling along when some motorist,
too thick to look in her mirror, opens her door and clangs you. You
pick yourself up, number your parts, and stand there holding your
fractured wrist. Meanwhile the motorist cheerfully drives away,
leaving you uncertain what your name is (Medley Hamburger, Muddy
HoochyCoochyMan, Motley Humdinger, Mostly Halftimer, Mosley
Hewastheman?), let alone what was on their numberplate.


Just imagine how much less informed you could possibly be if the vehicle
receding into the distance was a bicycle.


1. I'd remember a bicycle with doors on. Easily.

2. A bicycle involved in a collision might well not be able to get
away, especially with doors on.


OK, we all know that what you describe happens, but at least the reg mark is
displayed.


Yes, it's certainly put an end to hit and run.
