Excellent Cyclist Laws in Australia

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-01-2...rry-id/7123360


From March 2016, riding without an ID will result in a $106 fine.

Not wearing a helmet or holding onto a moving car will cost $319

Running a red light will incur a $425 penalty.


How very sensible.

Sorry - I must go - I have a letter to write to my MP.

Agreed, but without coppers on the ground it's totally pointless.

Unless you're a speeding motorist in this country (or perhaps having a
seasonal drink) the chances of being done for any motoring or cycling
offence is remote.

We have the very occasional two or three day binge on errant cyclists, then
for the rest of the decade their misdemeanors are totally ignored.

They had a big clampdown in the West Midlands, apparently.

In NSW cyclists now have to carry ID and there is a stupid unworkable
bit about clearances,

First all cars should be banned. No reasonable person
needs their own car. Think of all the deaths..

Then work on getting workable cyclists laws.

offended when someone points it out to you.

So you're all in favour of cyclists riding on pavements and ignoring traffic
lights and not using lights at night?

Just Google "cyclist kills predestrian" if you don't think there's a
problem.

Well, yes. It's such a novel rarity it's very likely to get in the media.
