Cycle riders and licence plates

[JFKvsNixon]

I know this question wasn't to me, but as far as I'm concerned, if anything moves fast on the roads, it's a good idea for it to be insured.

 

I agree having third party insurance is a good idea and there are a few cycle clubs that offer insurance as part of their membership so that is one way to go. If that's not for you, there is a full range of insurance available at a reasonable cost and I'd advise anyone who cycles to get some, if they don't want to potentially lose their house after an accident.

 

It's the compulsion to have insurance that I don't agree with.

It's a straight fact that cars cause more damage if the situation is identical. Basic laws of physics.

 

That's why cars need insurance, and cycles and horses and sprinters don't.

Do you see many cyclists on the motorways and main A roads then?

What makes you think i only use MWays and A Roads?

This is such a pointless discussion. Let's end it here: If cyclists need insurance than so do pedestrians. Have fun paying that Bobby.

Ahh, youre trying to be witty. Sorry i missed it, its been a long time since ive argued with a child.

As my car insurance allows me to drive any car im sure itll cover me for walking to and from it.

Nothing witty about it, you however are trying to be dumb and succeeding remarkably well. Now that was witty, although you could interpret it as offensive should you choose so.

Phew, im glad you noticed that too. I thought it may have just been me.

I don't think you only use them, but I'm guessing that a lot of those miles are on such roads. Am I wrong?

You never walk anywhere. Are you the size of a small house then?

I only ask because it's difficult to exercise if you literally never walk and drive everywhere. Perhaps the amount of driving you do is the reason for the bad attitude.

Out of interest, have you ever heard of this happening?

 

Or indeed a cyclists having to pay any large amount after causing an accident?

No but the potential exists for a cyclist to be responsible for paying out a large sum of money. For example, if they are responsible for an injury that leaves someone needing a package of care afterwards.
