Call For Cyclists To Obey Driving Laws

Mr Loophole he is often referred to as Nick Freeman is a lawyer who specialises in traffic and speeding offences. He is known as Mr Loophole because of his nack for getting celebrity clients clear of any traffic offences when to everyone else it almost seems like an impossible task, he has recently stated in regards to cyclists that they “should obey driving laws”. Ever been stuck behind a row of cyclists taking up a full side of the road? It’s ridiculous but don’t fear Mr Loophole is here.

The number of bicycle related deaths have gone from 107 in 2011 to 118 in 2012 which you may not think is a serious increase but according to the department of transport the latest figure shows that 3,222 cyclists were seriously injured over the year. Possibly not the best Lawyer to be the one who’s stating these claims after his reputation doesn’t do any justice, however his ideas are in the right place, he believes Cyclists along with being subject to the same laws as motorists and forcing them to wear helmets and high-vis clothing is the way to solve the bicycle related injury problem.

He calls for these to be a mandatory thing as he believes it will improve the safety for drivers and cyclists a like, which many people agree with. At the current moment everyone can agree that cyclists are incredibly vulnerable, if you have ever cycled on a busy road then you will know exactly how that feels and something definitely need to be changed in order to improve the safety of both drivers and cyclists a like, the figures even agree with this notion. When cycling its advised that you wear both high-vis clothing and helmets however unfortunately some people don’t.
