Good idea, of course one presumes it will also be extended to
cyclists, another reason to get them registered, their competency
tested and insured for third party and damage claims.

Great idea but you would be daft to think that penalties such as 6
points on your licence or being forced to retake a test would be
extended to pedal cyclists.

Saying that, the problem seems to be catching the little buggers. I see
people driving while using hand held devices daily. Drivers seem to
think that they are invisible to the world when they are in their cars.
But how the hell do they get prosecuted unless a policeman sees them and
is able to stop them?

Jimmy Carr was using a Dictaphone - apparently.

Hence the reason cyclists should be registered & regulated. If they had
a license to endorse they might start obeying traffic laws - like the
vast majority of motorists do.

I know what you mean. Much easier if cyclists had registration plates.

Even if the policeman doesn't stop them, he came trace them - unlike a
scofflaw cyclist.

Motorists pay £46 billion a year in extra taxes, specifically so they
can use the roads.
Less than £10 billion of this is spent on roads.
Q: Do cyclists pay any specific, extra taxes in order to use their
vehicles on the road?
A: No. They are sponging freeloaders.

Dave - Cyclists VOR. "Many people barely recognise the bicycle as a
legitimate mode of transport; it is either a toy for children or a
vehicle fit only for the poor and/or strange," Dave Horton, of Lancaster
University, wrote in an interim assessment of the Understanding Walking
and Cycling study. "For them, cycling is a bit embarrassing, they fail
to see its purpose, and have no interest in integrating it into their
lives, certainly on a regular basis."

You can repeat the line as often as you wish but that still does not
make it true.

Of course its true. Look at the conviction figures compared to the offences.

''As the severity of the injury increased the benefit of wearing a
helmet increased, which is very hard to ignore I think,'' Dr Olivier said.

Results showed that cyclists without helmets were more than 3.9 times as
likely to sustain a head injury to those with helmets. Helmets reduced
the risk of moderate head injury by 49 per cent, of serious head injury
by 62 per cent, and of severe head injury by 74 per cent".
