Good idea, of course one presumes it will also be extended to cyclists, another reason to get them registered, their competency tested and insured for third party and damage claims. Great idea but you would be daft to think that penalties such as 6 points on your licence or being forced to retake a test would be extended to pedal cyclists. Saying that, the problem seems to be catching the little buggers. I see people driving while using hand held devices daily. Drivers seem to think that they are invisible to the world when they are in their cars. But how the hell do they get prosecuted unless a policeman sees them and is able to stop them? Jimmy Carr was using a Dictaphone - apparently. |

Can I use your Dictaphone? -- Dave-Cyclists VORT Motorists pay £46 billion a year in extra taxes, specifically so they can use the roads. Less than £10 billion of this is spent on roads. Q: Do cyclists pay any specific, extra taxes in order to use their vehicles on the road? A: No. They are sponging freeloaders. |

"Many people barely recognise the bicycle as a legitimate mode of transport; it is either a toy for children or a vehicle fit only for the poor and/or strange," Dave Horton, of Lancaster University, wrote in an interim assessment of the Understanding Walking and Cycling study. "For them, cycling is a bit embarrassing, they fail to see its purpose, and have no interest in integrating it into their lives, certainly on a regular basis." |

Boom boom. I'm here all week.... -- Dave-Cyclists VORH ''As the severity of the injury increased the benefit of wearing a helmet increased, which is very hard to ignore I think,'' Dr Olivier said. Results showed that cyclists without helmets were more than 3.9 times as likely to sustain a head injury to those with helmets. Helmets reduced the risk of moderate head injury by 49 per cent, of serious head injury by 62 per cent, and of severe head injury by 74 per cent". |
