Recently reported in Cycling Active. A cyclist passing lawfully
through a green light was almost wiped out by another cylist who had
jumped a red light. When he complained about this, all he got was a
mouthful of abuse from the other rider who then rode off at high
speed. This is the sort of thing that brings cyclists and cycling into
disrepute!


Indeed - and an excellent reason for registration etc.

Many cyclists are proving the need for registration by their contempt for the Highway Code and laws.

The answer:
All cyclists over 16 to take compulsory test, have compulsory insurance, and be registered.
Registration number to be clearly visible on the back of mandatory hi-viz vest.
Habitual law breakers' cycles confiscated and crushed.
