Yes, the example of a Swiss scheme (which ISTR included insurance) was discussed, and it was decided that just as the Swiss scheme had been dropped, there was really no need for such a scheme in the UK. Bicycles just don't cause enough harm to justify such a scheme as a means of control, and that's even before you consider the substantial health benefits, environmental benefits etc. of cycling. |

Yet it could reduce crime and increase government income from fines, not to mention giving some compensation to those injured by cyclists and the victims of cyclists' temper tantrums. |

What is your opinion????????? You know what my opinion is. We've just been discussing it with emails to each other. For the benefit of this group, I personally think it would be totally unworkable. The police force can't keep up with crime as it is. |

I only asked if the subject had been raised before. I was guessing that this subject had probably been hammered to death before. |

I was guessing that this subject had probably been hammered to death before. Not really hammered to death. With old style technology it was clearly more trouble than it is worth but with wireless computer technology becoming dirt cheap it is easy to see how registration could be slipped in along with the multitude of other benefits a wireless device could offer. Such a device could communicate with similar devices on other vehicles providing proximity warnings, signalling intent, evidence in case of accident etc. I mean would you be prepared to have a registration device if it also warned a similar wireless device on a lorry that you were there even if you were in a blind spot. I reckon within 10 years a sizeable proportion of cyclists will have them and they will be mandatory for other vehicles. |
