| 1154466 | 2010-11-19 04:56:00 | Its time that all cyclists be licenced, required to pass the same road tests as motorists and be required to pay their share of the road upkeep thought licencing fees and ACC levies. Not a day goes past where I do not see a cyclist run a red light when nothing is coming, weaving through traffic to get to the front of the lines and other dangerous practises. I only have on thing to say to idiots on bikes that get in my way doing stupid ****, welcome to your new life as my hood ornament I think you will find that most cyclists are holders of a car licence. I'm a cyclists and also hold a car licence and a MC licence and up to 4 years ago a HT licence. :) |

They don't have licence plates, rego, wof driving licences or at least don't have to carry one as motorists do. So you get pulled over by a cop and asked to give your name and address, "Donald Duck, 123 Hollywood Cres" |

That applys to any alledged offence no matter if you have a driving licence or not or if you are driving a motor vehicle. Check you Law statutes before making the assumption Police can not prosecuate a cyclist. |

| 1154469 | 2010-11-19 05:38:00 | Yep on road cops a maoris guy on a bike wouldn't give his details until they arrested him. | prefect (6291) | ||
| 1154470 | 2010-11-19 05:39:00 | Did I say that the Police CAN'T prosecute? Did I say I wanted ID cards? I am simply mentioning that it may be more difficult to check the information given by an alleged offender and for the record a lot of people here rely on the Road Code for the laws. I will remind people that the Road Code is not, in fact, the law but rather the relevant Acts and Regulations and amendments made by and passed by Parliament. There are faults on both sides as I see it. |

| 1154472 | 2010-11-19 07:09:00 | Something to think about: I'm not a "f***ing cyclist". I'm Ruby's daddy, on a bike I’m not a “f***ing cyclist”. I’m Ben’s brother, on a bike. I’m not a “f***ing cyclist”. I’m Vanessa’s darling, on a bike. I’m not a “f***ing cyclist”. I’m the guy in charge of creating a campaign on Facebook to help Auckland City Mission raise money for families this Christmas, and I’m riding to work on a bike. I’m not a “f***ing cyclist”. I’m Gabriel’s daddy, on a bike, and he’s expecting me home around 6pm for bathtime. I’m not a “f***ing cyclist”. I’m Scott’s mate, on a bike. I’m not a “f***ing cyclist”. I’m Rochelle’s workmate and friend and she’s expecting me on a call at 8:30 a.m. I’m not a “f***ing cyclist”. I’m Liz’s little boy – all grown up, but still a skinned-knee five-year-old pedaling a yellow Star Flyer. And you’re not a “motorist”. You are someone in a car. Someone I haven’t met yet, with your own universe of people who laugh when you’re around, and you rode a bike to school, and you’re trying to remember your shopping list, and you’re thinking about going for a run, and you need to check your mirror before you open your door, in case the guy who plays guitar in the office band is riding past you on a bike. Say “hi”, next time. My name’s Greg. From publicaddress.net |
