Cyclists should show registration numbers like motorists, says top motoring lawyer Mr Loophole
CYCLISTS should be forced to display reg numbers just like motorists, a lawyer has claimed.
The figures were released a week after a man was jailed for causing fatal injuries to a pensioner when he Hugh Bladon, of the Alliance of British Drivers, added: “I am astonished that so many people have been fined as I see plenty getting away with it.“It should be made compulsory that cyclists wear helmets, and the helmets should have to show their registration number on the back. At the moment, they are unlucky if they get caught.”
The government is keen to get more people using bikes, and last week announced plans to rewrite the Highway Code to place cyclists second in a hierarchy of road users - below pedestrians, but above car drivers.
