Finally, UK proposed a law to prosecute cyclists who kill pedestrians with their reckless riding the same as motorists, making the world a safer place!

But just how many pedestrians are being killed by cyclists that this became an issue? And how does that compare with cars deaths?

If you really want to kill someone then doing with a car is by far the best way to go. Best case scenario is you get off with a fine and maybe losing your license for a few months if you make it look like an accident.

don't see why not. I've also always thought there should be an "MOT" for bikes where you basically have to demonstrate your brakes can stop you, your lights (if equipped) work and your tyres aren't hanging on by a thread. that's all it really is for cars.
It's already a legal requirement to have amber pedal reflectors and a red rear reflector. although nae cunt actually does.

what makes bicycling safer is more people bicycling and therefor better general awareness, less cars on the road, and more infrastructure
anything that is a barrier to entry like helmet laws or safety checks is counter-productive.

You can only justify them in a society that already has an extremely high uptake of cycling and sensible infrastructure and laws. It's not valid for the state to enforce safety regulations on bicycles while having unsafe infrastructure.

not enough manufacturers realise that beam pattern is more important than raw brightness, the krauts have StZVO regulations for this and I think (not 100% sure) if you have lights over there, they have to be STVZO compliant. you can't go wrong getting an STVZO rated light, even if you don't "have" to.

Some "people" would consider me an aggressive cyclist but I fully approve of such legislation. I pay attention to pedestrians and would never endanger them. Some do feel threatened or intimidated though because they don't have the same information about my bike handling and braking capacities. I even needlessly and demonstratively slow down a bit when I see kids or dogs just to communicate that I see them.

>road tax
obnoxious MAMILs like those you see here literally already pay road tax through their council tax, which will probably be extortionate in their posh suburb. car tax ("vehicle excise duty"), which everyone calls road tax, is a different thing, and it's based on emissions and how much damage you're going to do to the roads. for a lot of small cars its £0, or something negligible like £20/year anyway and would probably be £0 for bikes if they introduced one. The stupid thing is you have to "pay" the £0 or you get done for not taxing your zero tax car.

I for one am one of the cyclists you can legitimately scream "YOu doNT PaY rOAD taX!!!" at out the window while you nearly kill me in you 2 tonne karenmobile, because I don't pay council tax because I don't work. although I've found most drivers are extremely nice to me because I actually look like someone who can't afford a car and is legitimately riding a bike because I have no other vehicle.

It's implied in the term spandex faggot but I take you're referring to whom the measures should apply to. Put simply - everyone.
All cyclists must pay taxes, be insured and have plates.
However, people who already contribute i.e., pay for e.g., motorbike or car do not have to pay or get heavy rebates as is already common practice for multiple ownerships etc.

Cyclist here, I agree with this, too many arseholes on bikes giving the rest of us a bad name. I regularly ride on sidewalks and through parks to avoiid the real threat - the caged menace- but when around pedestrians I ride at a gentle pace, I slow to a crawl around kids, dogs and the elderly and dismount when approaching crowded areas. If you injure anyone through your own recklessness no matter what you are driving or riding you should go to jail.

Of course if we banned cars then those rare arseholes on bikes would kill or injure far fewer pedostrians.

There are actually demented boomers who believe cyclists kill millions of people a year crashing their 15 lb roadbike into them. There are unironically people who think this. And they're the ones writing legislation.

Quoted By:

I heard a story from relative that they witnessed a young girl get hit by a bicycle on a cross-walk, big man on bike vs small girl.
She flew and hit her head on the road, they said it sounded like smashing a watermelon on the ground.
She died immediately.
That guy broke a ton of rules, crashing into pedestrians on cross-walk where he had to yield, no lights during dark on his bike but of course it wa just an 'accident'.

Good law, everyone should be responsible for their own actions, even a bike is a vehicle and they should be held responsible for misusing it in reckless and dangerous ways.
