These cycling clips keep coming into my suggested viewing. I knew if I watched enough of them I'd find a cyclist with a genuine point. Well done! What are your thoughts on bicycles having numberplates so that they can also be identified when committing offences?
I think giving all bicycles number plates wouldn't be that useful. However, I am definitely in favour of number plates on all ebikes, as that would catch out most ubereats delivery riders who are the main offenders imo
@@rennyrenny6733 Why would it not be useful? Should they not be identifiable and held responsible in the same way that car drivers are? They should also be made to have a minimum of third-party insurance if the rider is of car driving age, in my opinion.
@@diremond3700 Surely children would need insurance as they're more likely to get into accidents. And there's also the issue of what is the registration linked to? How much of the bike can I change before it's a different bike? If I changed the wheels brakes handlebars saddle and pedals is that still the same bike? What if I repainted it too? While I definitely think that cyclists should be held to account, registration plates are not the way. What we need is more police on the streets to enforce the law. Simple as that. Something else I was thinking is we need to teach people how to cycle on roads safely. The only time I was properly taught that was in bikeability in primary school and nothing after that. I was thinking of setting up a society at my uni to teach people how to cycle safely on roads.
@@diremond3700 it makes a lot more sense simply to hire more police than to force people to spend more money on registration and insurance just to ride a bike in a coat of living crisis
@@rennyrenny6733 Equality on the roads should dictate that it's riders of driving age that should have the insurance. Children remain the responsibility of their parents. Insurance can be done purely on value. What's missing on the roads these days is good old fashioned common sense and what we have in abundance are cyclists with arrogant and self-righteous attitudes. Neither of which will protect them in a collision with a vehicle. The police issue is an entirely different discussion. The police are undeniably underfunded and undermanned. They are also tied up by restrictions and drowned by paperwork.
That’s because cyclists don’t cause cars to fall over when they close pass Are you really that dense? Edit: and it’s not 3 feet, it’s bare minimum 1.5m. Read your HWC.
@@pjcamp1onnah, there is no delay that justifies crap behaviour on the road, Even if the delay has been as long as 9 seconds that was still a stupid thing to do

The funny thing is as a motorist, when you overtake a cyclist, you must give 3 feet distance. However , when they pass you it's inches , omg
@@Donkavision-sx4js Hello I am a motorist and a cyclist, so I know what it is like. I was just pointing out my experience.

@@bestbehave Are you a bot, you reply like one! And you're not getting what I am trying to say, anyway going forward!
@@paulace0674 you really are that dense then
1.5m, if you can’t handle that surrender your licence and use a bike.
@@bestbehave Don't want to use my bike, I might get knocked off by a motorist
They literally only had to wait about 7 more seconds… it's embarrassing really!
oh i'm guessing his crystal ball must be broken

Hello mate! Is it okay to use it please ? Credited of course. Thanks in advance and stay safe!
