A code of conduct issued by the New Zealand Transport Agency, tells cyclists before cycling on the road you must know the road rules!
They rules apply to cyclists as well as those who use motor vehicles.
The rules help to prevent crashes and reduce risk and injury
Isn't this exactly what TFL's Vision Zero is all about.
Isn't it time this code of conduct was issued to all cyclists in London's ?
1. The wearing of cycle helmets must be made law as is with motor cycles.
2. Boating the traffic lights must also be mandated
3. Cycle lights are essential and must be fitted to all cycles
4. Cycles must not be fitted with sidecars.
To allow this code to be enforced all cycles must be fitted with registration plates.
There’s no denying the importance of road safety. It’s a topic that continues to be in the spotlight for both encouraging and tragic reasons. Regardless of whether you’re behind handlebars or a steering wheel, it’s important to have an understanding of the road rules that apply to cyclists.
It's not just New Zealand that has a code of conduct for cyclist.
