Roundabouts and other driving pet peeves

It is. It's a "must" under rule 60 of the HWC. Are police stopping cyclists at night currently?

Can't see them can they.

I go for a run at half five in the mornings and I'm safer running in the road with my chest lights on than dodging the constant flow of bikes and e-scooters with no lights tearing along the pavements.

I don't ride at nights. It's suicidal on the roads even with lights. But these new laws won't change much without proper enforcement. It's just political gesturing IMO.

Yes, but he walked away from it. And at least it was on mountain bike trail and not in an urban area.

Here's another Daily Fail article from last year, along with the Torygraph that's very anti cyclist:

Cyclists kill or seriously injure 1,400 pedestrians since 2013

Former Tory leader Sir Iain Duncan Smith has vowed to close a loophole which can see cyclists who kill or injure pedestrians escape prosecution as they cannot be held to account, pictured, Brian Fitzpatrick.

Not once does it put into context that vehicles seriously injure or kill around 30k per year. Whipping up the culture wars on the roads even.

There is no context needed, car drivers and their insurance is held accountable by law.

Cyclists as pointed out in the article aren't held accountable at all as very much itemised in the article with two specific cases. That's 30 dead people with no responsibility at all.

The laws must be changed and registration, insurance and if need be a tax has to be levied/mandated to protect those who are injured or killed by cyclists in the same way drivers are.
