In your cyclist coloured blinkered world maybe so, but one or two of us see the wider picture than "I'm numpty a cyclist look out for me" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassman62 Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 We've tried (several of us) to keep this on topic but the Martini Cyclist Brigade (Anytime, Anywhere, Anyhow) try to turn everything round and go off topic and blame motorists for eveything cyclists do wrong. Mention cycling stupidity and someone comes back about driving 50,000 miles a year in a car along with also driving a sports car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattleonard Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 They should have to have insurance to use the roads And pay Road Tax? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassman62 Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 They should have to have insurance to use the roads Agrred 101%. They should also have to take a cycling profficienct test and pay road tax. If they did all three maybe they would be more responsible in their conduct on the public highway, as it is any Tom, Dick or Harriet can get on a bicycle and be let loose on the roads without ever having taken a test let alone read the HighWay Code. No wonder they don't observe the simplest of commonsense logic if the are ignorant of the rules of the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dawny1970 Posted April 23, 2011 Author Share Posted April 23, 2011 There's no specific law. You can still get manslaughter. Just like there's no specific law of "death by dangerous scuba-diving" on such a serious subject, you have to make a silly comment like that:loopy: ALL road users should be covered by the same laws, tho some on here will howl with protest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sibon Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Yes that too. Great idea Bassman. How much vehicle excise duty should they pay? Here are the current rates for motor vehicles to help you to make up your mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
