When is the government going to fully enforce the cyclists law which they hastily brought in, where one must wear a crash helmet and be fully visible with lights in the darkness hours?
It would be very interesting to get the accident statistics from ACC to bicycle related accidents without helmets/lights.
Its appalling how many of all ages openly flout this law, 12 months of the year, causing mayhem in the darkness hours, for they are a nightmare for both cyclists and pedestrians.
Our local MP, Simon Bridges, ex Crown Prosecutor, who sits on a Law and Order select committee, why isn't he insuring the public and asking the questions of the Minister of Transport/ACC/Health/Police why this law is not being fully enforced.
Wouldn't it be nice if the Police let the motorists alone for a couple of months and fully target and enforce the cyclist law (it would be a lovely cash injection earner for the government who are crying out for money).
What is our justice system worth, if the laws put into motion by our incumbent politicians on the goodwill of NZ citizens is not upheld fully in principle?
