Closed petition Make it law that all Bicycles and scooters have a bell fitted by Law.

Closed on 3 March 2023

Rule 66 of the Highway Code says "you must make your self known by ringing a bell IF you have one" I want the "IF" removed ...... I want it to be illegal to have/ride a bike on the public highway with out a bell installed.

There are a lot of people now whizzing about on their bikes and scooters. Silently whizzing by with no bell. If you want me to get out the way or you want to make me aware that you are there or coming, have a bell on your bike. So many delivery bike people have no bell on their bikes.I do not think it is a big expense to put a bell on your bike so that you can announce your arrival. If it is there then people will use them. If they do not have to get one they will not.
