Our roads were *NOT* constructed with cars AND bicycles to be side by side.
So what happens now, these Lycra clad idiots, who DISOBEY road rules right, left & centre, are given a metre of laneway in which to ride. That's a metre taken away from cars! And cars are expected to break the road rule of going over a double white line to give them their metre, if required!
Absolutely effing ridiculous!
If they want to use the road, they pay Registration for their bicycles, which means they've a plate by which offending riders' can be reported, SAME as cars!
It will also help pay for their 'bike lanes' paintwork, which is currently being paid for by car drivers! WHY????
It will also give them CTP Insurance, which they certainly need. Maybe they should be taking out Comprehensive Insurance, too.
They should be made to do a 'Riding Test', to obtain a Licence, same as car drivers' have to. They want to use the roads, let the same conditions of road use apply to them!
It should be mandatory they give Hand Signals, so car drivers' might have just an inkling of what they want to do on the road, instead of just suddenly veering right, without warning, across a car's path! Morons!
No wonder they're being injured, or killed!
All these responsibilities come from wanting to use a roadway. About time they faced-up to these!
Why anybody would want to breathe-in multiple car fumes for klms. is beyond me, & they CLAIM it's healthy. What a load of bollocks!
Personally, I'd prefer them NOT to be on the roads at ANYTIME!
They mostly are just bee nuisances, flouting the road rules, & not getting any penalties' for doing so, unless they're actually seen by Police.
They're getting injured, or killed, mostly through their own lack of common sense, & stupidity, & will continue to do so.
