You know my methods

They should but more importantly the wearing of a high viz jacket should also be. The amount of idiot cyclists i see dressed in black or dark colours amazes me.

Yes, as should high visibility jackets. Maybe even knee and elbow pads. Cyclists are the most vulnerable of all road users, it amazes me that people take so few precautions when they're on a bike.

Yes helmets should be compulsory. Also some kind of test to make sure the cyclist knows the Highway Code because so many of them seem to think it only applies to motorists, and compulsory insurance.
The cyclists I hate the most are the ones that dress up in lycra like they're Bradley bloody Wiggins and ride around in bunches, two and three abreast. And they're almost all older men, and militant, fist-waving car haters. You'd think the amount of road tax I pay when they pay none, they'd be a little cheery.

Yes.

How on earth is a law that has been proven to save at least some lives, taking away your freedom as a human being? |

They're a law unto themselves. I had one get off his bike and rant at me for some perceived misdemeanour. I was so mad I had to get out of my car and point out to the idiot that while I was overtaking a stationary bus he was overtaking ME! They're bloody frightening.

Having had a couple of mates mangled on motorbikes and been saved only by the helmet they were wearing, I have to disagree. Also. my father, an ex-paramedic has some real horror stories about people not wearing seat belts. Not wearing helmets and seatbelts is tantamount to negligence. Life is too precious to take such stupid chances.

wearing a seat belt should be our choice we are born with free will. the same with helmets. seat belts restrict and can can cause more harm than good. they are a form of restraint. restricting are freedom . it should be our choice to wear them.its our lives

I'm sorry but that has to be one of the most ridiculous things I've ever read on here, and that's saying something.
How can you disagree with wearing a seatbelt in a car? I am flabbergasted tbh |

yeah they should be... but one thing I dont understand is why cyclists have to cycle on roads?
I would much much rather be a pedestrian who is run over by a cyclist than a cyclist who is run over by a car I think there should be more bike paths everywhere tbh... IMO so many more people would actually bike if it wasn't so dangerous car wise.
