Closed CYCLING ON FOOTPATHS `MUST` BE MADE ILLEGAL ON SAFETY ISSUES.

Closed on

WE THE UNDERSIGNED WANT THE LAW CHANGED TO STOP CYCLING ON THE FOOTPATHS AND TO STOP SOME FROM GOING THROUGH RED LIGHTS, THIS IS DANGEROUS PRACTICE AND ALLOWED TO HAPPEN WITH NO CONTROL, DISABLED SCOOTERS CAN ONLY DO 4 MPH ON THE FOOTPATHS YET CYCLES CAN REACH SPEEDS OF UP TO 30 MPH, THIS IS DANGEROUS WHICH THE POLICE MUST SEE EACH DAY AND TURN A BLIND EYE, THIS IS THE SAME AS JUMPING `RED` LIGHTS, WAS AN OFFENCE YEARS AGO AND ENFORCED BUT NOT ANYMORE, WHY.

EITHER NEW LAWS NEED BRINGING IN OR IF THEY STILL EXIST ENFORCED AS IT IS VERY BIAS TO THE DISABLED SCOOTER, SHOULD BE A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD FOR ALL AND NOT JUST SOME SECTIONS, PLEASE SIGN IF YOU AGREED.

THANKS
