People who do this kind of thing should be very severely punished.

"Low fines, the reluctance of motorists to stop and, in some cases,
lax design could be behind the rising death and injury toll, it is
feared.

"We live in a society where everyone is in a rush and one where people
see the chances of getting caught as minimal," said Andrew Howard,
head of road safety at the AA."

The chances of getting caught are particularly minimal for cyclists,
because they have no registration plates.

"Well officer, he was riding a racing bike, wearing brightly coloured
Lycra with trendy wrap around sunglasses", the pedestrian victim or a
witness might say. That would narrow the suspect list down to about
one million cyclists!
