Every road user should be insured and have a valid driving / cycling licence. Any fool can buy a cycle and, with no knowledge of the road law or Highway Code, venture out to cause mayhem. I have a car driving licence and tax & insurance and I would be happy for the same on my bikes. Not the tax bit though. Would solve a lot of the issues here.
Anyone caught being illegal should be deported or at least told to walk for the next 500 metres holding a sign saying 'I've been naughty'.
Perhaps a disc on the bike saying it is in good working order and road worthy. A rusty chain will be removed and you'll have to walk home.
Anyone cycling at night wearing black with no lights gets shot where they stand. It's safer in the long run to remove these people before they win the Darwin award injuring someone else.
Old people get re-tested as per current driving licensing.
Helmets should be compulsory. A fall at 30+ mph is going to mess you up.
Summary executions for arsehole / most taxi drivers.
No bendy busses - bad drivers to be stabbed up a bit.
HGV's should have cameras in blind spots and not be allowed in towns during daylight.
If all road users are treated the same, there can be no cause for the other groups to attach a general blame to all cyclists for the actions of a few nobs.
A load of this is actually true. Especially the bit about the taxi drivers...
