Default Changes to the Highway Code.

Proposed changes to the Highway Code will limit rider's rights to use the roads, make convictions for "inconsiderate cycling" more likely and effectively make any cyclist killed or injured in a road accident guilty of "contributory negligence" at the very least. The Highway Code is not the law but it is used to decide legal cases so this is very important.
Please sign this on-line petition:- http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/roads4bikes/

and write to your MP asking them to oppose the change.

Anyone in Britain who has not signed this petition yet really should do so.

Typical of this government, I can’t think of a single issue where they have listen to the public. Let’s hope no one pays the ultimate price for their arrogance.

Not ideal, but a slight improvement. They still want those e-signatures!
