Dangerous cyclists face life in prison.

Kramer · 2024-05-15T21:46:38Z

The latest wheeze from the Tories. Mark Harper has promised to change the law so that dangerous cyclists face the same punishments as dangerous drivers. Mr Harper said: “Dangerous cyclists who kill or seriously injure others should face the same penalties as other road users. Today I have agreed a way forward to ensure the Criminal Justice Bill contains powers to hold irresponsible cyclists to account, paving the way for even safer streets. So, let me get this right, riding recklessly on something that weighs 15kg and exposes the rider to significant injury will be treated exactly the same way as a driver in safety controlling something that weighs 100 times as much. FFS.

The number of deaths on the roads won't go down until drivers face tougher sentencing.
