Petition New Cycling Laws to protect pedestrians and drivers
More details
A proper clampdown on cyclists who behave unlawfully on our streets and roads is long over due and much needed. Too many cyclists are skipping red lights and cycling on the pavements.
For too long officials, ministers, devolved politicians and militant-cyclist groups have had an almost exclusive access to the media, leaving pedestrians and drivers voiceless. They blame the space, they blame the drivers, the politicians blame each other. It is time to blame those responsible for these dangers - the cyclists themselves.
New laws need to be introduced to
- TREBLE fines for cyclists on our pavements
- TREBLE fines for jumping red lights
- Bicycle-abusers bikes should be confiscated, melted down and the cost of this passed on to them in addition to the fines.
- Minimum punishments for cyclists should be equal to those of drivers.
