Petition Fine cyclists for not using hand signals & going through red lights
More details
Although I think it is good to encourage more people to cycle I am fed up with seeing cyclists accelerating at pedestrians at pedestrian crossings and not using hand signals, especially in the City of London. This is bad manners and I would term this kind of behaviour "cycling fascism". It should be made compulsory for cyclists to use hand signals to indicate where they are going to pedestrians and vehicular traffic. This is only common courtesy and will improve cycling safety. The police should also fine cyclists who cycle through red lights at speed (particularly if pedestrians are crossing).
