What the petition asks
With more cyclists on the road today than ever, it is vital that in the unfortunate event of a collision or accident that they have insurance cover for themselves and other road users.
If a cyclist has fault a collision or accident with a vehicle, the vehicle owner has to recover the damages from their own policy or try to obtain the cyclists details and take them to small claims court. It is only fair that all cyclists have insurance that covers other road users, the insurance cover cost is available from as little as £2.00 per month. It should be law that cyclists have insurance like all other road users.
