If you hate cyclists that do not follow the rules of the road e.g. go through red lights etc. Then this is the site to go to. :thumbsup:

While we at it why not bring back the poll tax and pastie tax we could also ban crisps.
we all know many cyclists can and do not follow guidelines so why should all other users who follow them be penalized.

Yeah, and motorcyclists should have number plates on the front, so they can not avoid forward facing speed cameras!!

Ooo, hang on I ride a m/bike ;)

It's the odd few cyclist that need monitoring. We are teaching our 4 year old grandaughter to use the crossings by pressing the button and waiting for the green man because it is now safe to cross. Wrong we've nearly been taken out this year by cyclists that don't observe the red light a total of 4 times. They come out of nowhere weaving between the traffic and straight through the red light without even slowing down. If they had a registration on the bike then they would not be able to do that.

I have a sort of love/hate relationship for cyclists.

Most of the time they are ok, as long as they stay out of my way.
The problem are the ones that live and breath bikes and do think that the rules of the road do not apply.

I guess it is the same sort of mentality as bikers thinking that have a right to pass anyone and go that bit faster than everyone else.
I may or may not fall into this category. ;)
But then I commute all year on a m/bike, much the same as a pushbike rider leaves and breathes bikes.

Mmmmmmm. At least I obey traffic lights :)
