The Nazis liked number plates on bicycles, no wonder the Daily Mail likes the idea
-
Not number plates but I have seen it suggested that pedestrians and bikes where sensors to make the transition to autonomous cars easier, so if you choose to not wear a beacon and land up getting hit then you are at fault
-
That’s a great idea for the daily Mail to get behind. If you make the sensors self funded with bespoke batteries that can only be changed at a licensed outlet you could enrich the chums who get to operate the system and price poor people off the pavement and under the self driving SUVs. Obviously you don’t give sensors to asylum seekers either which would save on air fares to Rwanda.

Not like the uk.gov is trying to bury news like this is it?
-
Sounds like a horrible idea, although it's probably not too far off being able to happen anyway using your mobile and all the mesh type stuff that lets air tags and covid apps work.

The most damaging farm products? Organic, pasture-fed beef and lamb
-
Group buy for air tags and make your own bouncy ball kits?

Have often wondered whether bikes could be fitted with something like the recco reflector that is used for search and rescue.

It’s popcorn central on the comments..

No wonder this is coming up again after all shit show I see every morning on CS3. Let’s be honest - the atrocious cyclist behaviour is a big problem too
-
Assuming that a “penalty charge” for excess speed would be a magistrate court appeal, I think any lawyer worth his salt could get the fine cancelled on the basis that cyclists do not have speedometers and therefore cannot be held accountable for their speed to any reasonable standard. However, for personal injury cases, speed may be used as a contributing factor, I suppose as now. IANAL
-
It’s one of those things where perceived risk and visible rule-breaking is what is causing the issue - we clearly don’t need heavy handed legislation but if it is brought in, it’s because people feel unsafe / annoyed rather than as a reaction to a danger.
-
Is the Overton Window the phrase I'm looking for here?
But I wonder if part of it is that people are so used to doing 25mph in a 20mph, 85mph in a 70mph, using their phone every now and then if it's "important" while seeing others do it regularly. They just factor that in as normal behavior because they and everyone else does it all the time.

The only time I had a proper argument with someone in the office was when the guy next to me suggested number plates for bikes. I loudly countered by asking should we put number plates on pedestrians too… etc.
