Force cyclists to display an identification plate.

Force cyclists to display an identification plate.

The issue

Most cyclists are law abiding when utilising our road systems however there are those who dangerously refuse to abide by the laws of the road and cause danger to themselves & place motorists & pedestrians in potentially dangerous situations. As motorists we are required to display plates which enable our vehicles to be identifiable & therefore be held accountable for our actions. The minority of cyclists who refuse to comply with the road rules, do so safe in the knowledge that they cannot be identified. I believe for the safety of all concerned, this needs to change. I am not seeking for cyclists to pay registration, simply that a plate be assigned against their drivers license or approved ID so that they can be identified. I believe this change would lead to greater compliance to road rules & subsequently less accidents & injuries. Only cyclists who deliberately ignore the rules of our roads should be against this.
