Headteacher demands children cycling to school display number plates

[oldfatfool]

Back in the day when I first went to high school the rules were that you were not allowed to ride your bike there until you had passed your cycling proficiency test. No numberplates though.

I wasnt allowed to do my cycling proficiency as on the day it occurred my road bike was away and the cycle speedway bike sans brakes that was available was deemed unsafe

I've been known to stand in the middle of a road blocking it whilst escorting my kids around a car blocking the pavement. Or if the driver was sitting in the car, remind the kids to "not scratch it with their bikes like the last time"

But actually the local police did used to actively ticket cars that were blocking the path and even tow some away.

I carry my house keys on a clip on my belt. It would be an awful shame if, squeezing by, the car was scratched. I'll try to remember not to do that, but my memories these days...

Portugal doesn't any more. I think only Japan still does. More at http://ipayroadtax.com/licensed-to-cycle/licensed-to-cycle/

That's an interesting site, don't know how it had passed me by that UKIP had such a load of rediculous authoritarian anti-cycling policies.
