Do you think that all pedestrians should have registration numbers as
they are so difficult to trace?

A pedestrian is unlikely to cause an accident against another
pedestrian - and is unlikely to run off in such circumstances.

Unlike a cyclist:

run in to a car and damage it - and ride off from the scene.
run a red light and cause an accident : ride off from the scene.
knock someone down on a pedestrian crossing : ride off from the scene.
hit a pedestrian whilst riding on the footpath : ride off from the
scene.

the list is endless.

Many cyclists are proving the need for registration by their contempt for the Highway Code and laws.

The answer:
All cyclists over 16 to take compulsory test, have compulsory insurance, and be registered.
Registration number to be clearly visible on the back of mandatory hi-viz vest.
Habitual law breakers' cycles confiscated and crushed.

You just don't get it do you.
Cycle registration will not work because in a small percentage of
cases it does not work on cars.
Cyclists allready have insurance because they are either a member of
CTC or they have household insurance that covers them.
Cyclists do not need regulation because they dont damage people/
property.
Cyclists do not need tutution as they never make mistakes.
Cyclists do not need to stop at red lights because they know how to
cross a red light safely.
Cyclist only cycle on the pavement because they are forced to.

Does this help you?
