Re: Militant cyclists
To address both your posts Graham...
Firstly - Yes, BUT the cycle was a contributory factor. The license plate would be the Cyclists home postcode plus house number, a form of registration some cyclists are already stamping into the frame for anti theft purposes.
As for how often do motorists look at the highway code? not often in some cases, in a survey a few years ago, some drivers were not aware of the meaning of quite a few road signs they saw regularly. This should also be addressed.
The current driving licence system is ludicrous. You pass your test at 17/18 and that's all you need to do till you are 70. IMHO Eye tests should be compulsory every 2 years (as the opticians etc recommend anyway) and a driver knowlege test every 10 years or so.
eye sight can deteriorate a hell of a lot in the 53 years a license is valid for, and if this deterioration is gradual then you may not be aware of the problem until you have an accident.
