Question:
what do you think?
Answers:
Cyclists should be made to stick to the rules and fined and banned in the same way as car drivers. When they ignore traffic lights (signals) they should gain points on their licence, if they try and ride on the slow (nearside lane) of any road rather than the ostentatiously road signed pavement for animals, people and cyclists. Sorry for the rant, but if one talks about road signs and road regulations then one must ask how severe they have to get to stop cyclists from abusing their rights and also prevent right minded drivers like myself from mowing down every last one of them. Road safety laws can never be too severe unless they effect liberty to speed or allow cyclsts to ignore them.
no they need to get severe!

how do I report misuse of vehicle handicap placard in southern california?
Some speed limits are too low.Most people drive responsibly and safely yet on a motorway (limit 70mph) they (almost) all drive at 80-90 mph.Does n't this tell the authorities something?The 70 limit was devised in the '70s when cars like the Ford Anglia had a top speed of 90 and a stopping distance of many hundreds of yards.Cars have got faster,can stop much sooner but this archaic limit has stayed the same.Tail-gating and phoning while driving is much more dangerous.
It's not speed that kills it's INAPPROPRIATE speed.
When it's wet or icy,fair enough but to fine and endorse someone's licence for doing a safe 80mph on a dry,straight,deserted motorway is wrong.
80 mph on a dry deserted road is safe but illegal
30mph past a school is legal but unsafe.
