A while ago: a 9 year old girl was run over by a bike rider who said it eas HER fault. She was on a crossing. Her dad said "she did everything right on that crossing and dtill died.
Also the bike rider who run down an elderly women and jumped off his bike and kicked the dying women saying she was in his way.
Theres loads of cctv on the net of bike riders killing and maming people who are too defencless to protect themselves.
Jail/fine the bike riders and crush their bikes
Its on the radio today. People who use a bike as a wepon WILL be punished
From now on those who. kill with a bike WILL.GET 14 YEARS
How great is that.
Its the PERSON thats the problem not the lump of metal on wheels that they hit you with
For example , there is no test required for a disabled/ elderly person for them to drive an EPV or scooter at all . I have seen myself the damage they can do . Most do not realise the we do NOT have an automatic right of way on a footpath!! They go charging around even in supermarkets and don’t realise they can’t stop quick enough if someone steps out. A little bit of give and take is all that’s needed and with some a visit to specsavers
It’s not always the younger ones to blame and bikes are a menace wherever they go because they don’t think the Highway Code applies to them. Having said that the infrastructure in the U.K. is pathetic!!! Cycle lanes in the road camber gutters is a disgrace , and at the same time pavements between towns have no one on them !!
I lived in Europe mainland in the 60s to 90 s and they really had it sorted then
People toom photos of them with the hope the police would pick them up BEFORE they hurt orget killed
.
Theres been so much on the net and in papers about life changing injuries caused by bike riders.
Too many bike riders think the Highways code shouldnt apply to them as they run into people on zebra crossing and charge through the lights on red.
Its suppoesd to be a form of travel not a weapon
