Petition · past parliament

Make all cyclists have a numberplate and insurance to cycle on UK roads.

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

I think that there are many cyclists on the roads that do not follow road law and are unidentifiable and uninsured. They should be treated the same as motor cycles.

Many cyclists have no regards for the road as they cant be identified but quick to claim against a car driver.

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.

Compulsory 3rd party insurance, permit, and number plate for cycles on the road.
