I wish those lycra wearing painted on pants type that ride 2 or 3 abreast would learn some common sense. Since they take up 30% or more of the roadway then applying these laws will mean I would have to cross solid lines (where applicable) to get around the latte sippers. Hardly safe! I'd rather knock a fool of a bike than a head on though.

I've said it a few times now but I'll say it again. I think cyclist should only have to be registered when travelling on certain road which are high risk. What happens if a cyclist causes an accident and the car drive only has 3rd party and no way to pay for the repairs... With these new laws in QLD they should introduce a keep left law for cyclist stating they must stay as far left as practicable/possible. Average cycling lane is 1-1.5m which means if they stay left motorist should be able to stay in their lane if hang right. Give cyclist a compareable fine for failure to do so.

Wow this threads going no where, as for every argument for there's one against. Each side have valid points, but like others have said, respect each other and apply common sense. Then we all should be able to use the road together, but it's quite obvious just by some of the replies in this thread, that'll never happen.

Ah I remember the bad old days when I was a noisy whinger who hated cyclists
Then I realised that cyclists are road users just like everyone else and there are worse things in the world than having to treat them like other vehicles by giving way to them |

All bikes should have a number plate, even if it's just a 1 off purchase fee of $40 or something. The ones who flout the law and cause dangerous situations and injure or damage other people's property need to be held accountable for their actions. Just like how a car driver needs to be if they cause a dangerous situation for a cyclists. How is it different. |

I said to myself that I wouldn't reply to this thread as I have received that phone call a few years ago and these threads just grind my gears. All I will say is that the stupidity on this forum at times is astounding.
