Re: Yet again - Cyclist Killed in London

When I was 10 years old I did a cycle proficiency test, yes it was in the playground and teachers pretended to be cars but they taught us how to ride.

I should add this was 36 years ago, long before helmets and HiVis. But where were taught not to ride like idiots.

I nearly ran over some muppet, it was after midnight and our town turns of street lights, this muppet had no light, helmet, or HiVis, oh year he was wearing black. Had I not had full beam he would have been wearing my car. but luckily I wasn't driving fast and I saw him and manage to drop the anchor.

This business about fining lorry drivers who don't adhere to the new rules £1,000 is a joke.

How about fining cyclist £1,000 if they have no lights, helmet, HiVis and jump red lights etc, but oh no we cant do that can we they might throw a hissy fit.
