Cyclists and road rules.   Message List

Alan,

these clowns need education via there hip pockets. We now have a new Police Commissioner who may be amenable to enforcing the road rules on cyclists.

I would have thought that if  running red lights require a  burden of proof in a court of law the old failure to have a bell and reflectors rap would work just as well. Having a Police presence at the same intersection every day for a week and catching the same offenders every day might help.

I don't know who "taught" Graham B to start just before the green but guess what Graham, you are still breaking the law.

No warnings or "education campaigns", just fine the bastards.

I agree that the behaviour of many cyclists on bike paths is inconsiderate to say the least.
