Rejected petition Legally enforce road using cyclists to have insurance to cover third party.

With the increase in cycle traffic on Britains roads the inevitability of traffic collisions between cars and bicycles is always increasing and both parties should be protected. We propose that should a cyclist hit a car, the cyclist has a legal responsibility to cover costs.

More details

There are cases of bicycles hitting cars every day as well as "road rage" from cyclists and the damage to motor cars can be substantial.
