A Petition started by Owen McDermott that is asking the government to enforce cyclists to have insurance
has passed the 37 000 figure.........

If you have not signed it yet then PLEASE see the petition Change .org...... be careful when seeing a different
petition that has stopped. It is understandable that many cyclists are retaliating and rubbishing Mr McDermott's
petition. Although the petition ran two weeks it gained 37. 000 signatures.
This is a major landmark petition because it is FOR DRIVERS to obtain equality if an accident occurs between a cycle
and any other object. I do not think it is right to tax cyclists because many use bikes because of economy however
insurance is a must due to the rights of all drivers being eroded by the day. Some cyclists already have
insurance and it is those cyclists who are deemed to be careful. Those who do not want to have insurance must have
their own reasons for their attitude which is of interest to all road users. If that is you then please speak up so that all
insured road users can listen to your reasons for not wanting to be covered by insurance.

Golfers have to have liability insurance why not all other dangerous activities? The article in the Sun etc states
a furious motorist has started a petition because the roads he rightly states are more dangerous because there
are more cyclists using them and some of those use the roads without the necessary care that should be attributable
to what is dangerous.
