Like you not believing it or whatever pedantic reason you have doesn't mean it didn't happen.
Why are you suddenly captain cyclist?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Where did I say it didn't happen?
I'm not captain cyclist. I just see and hear a huge amount of ignorance on this subject, and one of my good friends was badly hurt while cycling, so it's a subject close to my heart.

We can discuss it, of course. It is irritating when an idiot rides straight through as you're crossing - of course it is.
---------------
Its dangerous to pedestrians.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We're going around in circles.
Trying reading back and see you if you pick anything up this time. The discussion is about licensing.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The first cycle (excuse the pun) ended with you accepting that cyclists are hazardous to pedestrians when they dont abide by the rules of the road.
Not just an irritant.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I never said or claimed otherwise.
You framed the debate so that I'd agree with you, but you've completely missed the actual point.
Piers Morgan #2
Keeping cyclists and cars separate would be ideal but it's not practicable. Imo bikes on pavements and pedestrian streets are more than an irritant.
Re the insurance, there's nothing wrong in using a hypothetical situation, it's how all safety rules should be considered. Otherwise you have to wait for the accident before taking any action.

It's a legal requirement for drivers to be licensed and insured and those laws were introduced for specific reasons, based on actual data.
So of course you need more than a hypothetical situation.

Ok cool. Your tone was very abrasive and I'm not getting into a semantics argument with you.
The garda did his job and he knows far more about this than you do.
the rest of Europe seems to manage without persecuting and murdering cyclists,i guess vehicle drivers in the uk are in more of a hurry and just more important in general

Is it not better to take measures to reduce accidents rather than taking measures to make sure that people are equally liable/dead after the accident?

It's his job to know this. Your friend being hurt doesn't make you an expert. His training does.
So we must wait for somebody to be badly injured, who will need care, by an uninsured cyclist before we should consider it. I don't agree.
I find lots of drivers seem to ignore cyclists when the driver is turning left, ignoring that the cyclist may want to continue straight.
When you as a driver stops to allow the cyclist, who has right of way, to pass before you turn you get some cants behind you who beep at you 😂

Dublin traffic and motorists are mental. The M50 is without doubt the worst. At peak times it’s like wacky races.
Being mildly inconvenienced is not as bad as the other person being dead.
Its pure mental. Actually drove past 2 cyclists on it recently young lads lashing down the hard shoulder not a bother to them.

Declan, yes I am for taking measures to reduce accidents. Which is Whigy I think that there should be restrictions on cyclists on footpaths and pedestrian areas. There are usually children and old gits like me who wander around as if they are entitled, which they are.
My drivers are also cyclists, Im one. And at other times a pedestrian. We're not tribes.
There are a lot of kant cyclings.
There are a lot of kant drivers.
Cyclists have more of an effect on pedestrians than drivers do though, and that's why the reputation is so awful for cyclists.
Most are completely law abiding that I see in London. Some are obnoxious kants that need to be put down.
*kant cyclists not cyclings
I cycle at the weekends for fun and exercise.
I reckon there’s a fair proportion of cyclists who haven’t mastered clipping in and out of their pedals.
kneerash-23 Cara Gold (U6876)
No, it's not his job to know that and like many police officers I encounter, they don't have a clue about it.
I never claimed that my friend being hurt is the basis for my opinion. My research is.
