Re: Yet again - Cyclist Killed in London
Well that's not entirely true. Police in C. London regularly mount operations in which cyclists are stopped and even fined for breaking the rules. I recently saw a news item about one such operation in Oxford Street. As has been said, people who drop litter, for example, are stopped and fined. Cyclists can be dealt with he same way. I'll grant you that without number plates it's harder and there's very little chance of CCTV being used to identify wrongdoers but cyclists have enjoyed the luxury of being able to point the finger at the motorist for quite some time and exploited it in order to press for changes to road layouts etc. This is going to change and we're going to see plenty of footage of cyclists behaving recklessly and dangerously. I have no doubt that, sooner or later, dashcam footage obtained by motorists will be used in the prosecution of cyclists and civil actions.
