This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Rejected petition Local Authorities to conduct pothole inspection by using a bicycle NOT a car !
I call upon fellow cyclists to support this petition?I believe if accepted it will at the very least save considerable pain ,suffering lost work time, NHS costs and not least lives of fellow cyclists.
Motoring by and confirming a road is not defective is to miss the very defects that kill cyclists.
More details
Drive by inspections are fraught with difficulty. What may be perfectly acceptable for a cocooned motorist may well severely disable or kill a cyclist. Highways inspectors should experience the real world on two wheels.
Trmac and skin do not make good bedfellows.
Please support and pass to all fellow cyclists , clubs and parents.
Next time it could be YOU!
Petitioner is a 62 yr old Sky Ride leader , Cycle instructor and holder of BCF gold racing licence , cycling up to 3000 miles per annum.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
At the moment, this would be a decision for local councils to take. You could start a new petition asking for all local councils to be required to inspect potholes using bicycles.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
