I am a keen cyclist and ride to work most days of the week. This sounds like a very bad idea just to impose a blanket law which will be open to abuse.
I regular see other cyclist with no lights, dark clothes, wrong way up a one way street etc, and would be very angry if on a day that I did use my car, someone like this rode up into my car then started to try and claim a payout of my insurance.
I appreciate that many car drivers are at fault and I am cut up on a regular basis by bad drivers, but more than likely this lot have no insurance and would not stop after knocking me over. Especially with a law making them automatically liable.
Please can we have more traffic police at peek traffic times, but instead of focusing on speed and fines can they focus on bad driving like tail gating, blocking junctions/roundabouts, general aggressive behaviour.
If that’s going to be the law, then we may as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb. Don’t just injure them, kill the b******s!
