Laws to make cycling more popular?

[Ming the Merciless]

Any new or upgraded road built that is hostile to cycling on must provide separate cycle infrastructure that runs parallel , has safe entry and exit, and is not interrupted where the new / upgraded road is not interrupted.

I think more people would get into cycling if pros stopped changing their blood every few days.

Driving children to school to be banned (considerations around disability etc to be made).

All driving offences to bring disqualification. 28 days for minor offences, lifetime bans for the serious shizzle.

The problem with that is it would just lead to even more people driving illegally and the threat of being locked up with your mate 'Bubba' doesn't seem to be a deterrent either.

Spend years telling everyone how eco friendly diesel cars are then heavily tax/ban diesel cars due to their terrible environmental risk, er....?[/QUOTE





I bet the government had thought of that

And while you're banned the car in which you committed the offence is parked in a secure government pound. If the offence involved a death the car is simply crushed.

Anyone lending or allowing a banned driver to use their car also gets a ban and has their car crushed. No excuses, make it an absolute offence.
