_haha_oh_wow_“Zig zag lines, parallel crossing, I have no idea what any of it means”: Cyclists call for “regular compulsory retests” for motorists after driver filmed ignoring bike crossing
big_slaphot take: driving a car should also include passing a drivers test every 5-10 years, depending on your age/prior driving history.
BlackArtistHot take! And so should a cyclist test, the amount of cyclists I’ve seen recently not using either rear or front lights and wearing all black is insane. Either take responsibility or gtfo off the road. You want me to take a test? so should you to show that we’re all responsible for our lives and the lives of others . Let’s the downvotes commence from the irresponsible ones.
mjrYeah, die should have lights, but you have no right to dictate people’s clothes while people are still driving around in black cars, especially when some of those have the wrong number of lights or sometimes don’t put the lights on at all.
As for responsibility, let’s be proportionate. A rubbish cyclist might kill themselves, but rubbish drivers can kill everyone and probably damage buildings and other infrastructure too, so it’s probably justified if drivers have to pass stricter tests.
