I have no problem with this. As a cyclist, it's common knowledge to
use a light at night. I don't have a problem with the government making money off of idiots. I'm actually very surprised that 33 cyclists were stopped within two hours. Hopefully the law will make people use lights. Regards, Cullen On Dec 7, 3:57*pm, "Mrcheerful" wrote: http://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/new...lice_launch_cr... |

No doubt the psycholists will claim Police harassment because they know that drivers have infra-red night vision and will always be able to see them! Derek C |

I forgot that the psycholists will also claim that drivers will be confused by those flashing LED lights that the minority of cyclists who carry lights often use! Personally I think they are great. |
why do motorists kill cyclists who are using lights?

When I was rammed I was using lights and the motorist admitted he didn't even see me. Pity the police can't pull over drivers to test their night vision. -- .

I could easily have been killed. any mention of a lit cyclist being killed? if not then why change the thread title yet again? Because it is deliberately biased against cyclists on a cycling newsgroup and originates from a motorist. Doug |

Doug so you actually have no opinion on why cyclists don't have lights at night? and you think that my question is anti-cyclist? It is a question about uk cyclists, where is your problem with that? |
