“Life Imprisonment Is Excessive” | Cyclist Group Co-Founder CRITICISES New Dangerous Cycling Law May 17, 2024 Ukadmin UK Politics </p> <h2>“Life Imprisonment Is Excessive” | Cyclist Group Co-Founder CRITICISES New Dangerous Cycling Law</h2> <p> The UK government has now made the offence of “death by dangerous cycling” law, meaning If cyclists kill pedestrians, they could face up to life imprisonment.<br /> Co-founder of Stop Killing Cyclists, Donnachadh McCarthy, has no objection to the law being introduced as a penalty for dangerous cycling and for death resulting from it.<br /> However, he does object to the penalties not being proportionate to the danger represented by a cyclist. He says: “A car is 125 times more dangerous than a 20kg bicycle”<br /> Kevin O’Sullivan thinks “it’s a bit mad” that under UK laws, bicycles can’t break speed limits as they are not motorised.<br /> #bicycle #death #dangerous #pedestrian #cycling #car<br /> Credit to : TalkTV</p> <p>
