More cyclists using lights ?

[Sixmile]

It totally pees me off to see children riding around here with no lights! Why don't their parents buy at least some cheap lights then they'll be seen and be legal? The police mustn't stop them so they'll think they'r not doing anything wrong.Oi parents! Spend that money you normally give to the National Lottery on some lights for your child's bike and coppers, do your job!!

Indeed, there is no excuse, especially with how cheap and easily charged lights are now.

Think about the set of lights they could get once their parents win the lottery though!

These people are not cyclists, they are just idiots on bikes .

I take issue with that. They are cyclists. Some cyclists are idiots.

Why is this important? Well, if we go down that route, inattentive motorists aren't motorists, they're just inattentive people who happen to be driving cars, and we (temporarily puts on driving hat and string backed gloves) we, the majority (ish) of attentive considerate drivers can pretend there isn't a problem.
