Cyclists who cause death or serious injury could face up to 14 years in prison if the government has agreed to change the law. Conservative MP Iain Duncan Smith, who has been campaigning for the change, says that cyclists should be made accountable for reckless behaviour.
So, should death by dangerous cycling carry a life sentence?

What utter bllocks, no car driver has ever been given a life term for killing a pedestrian
While the government are finally seeing what some cyclists are like HOW ABOUT requireing a VISABLE REGISTRATION PLATE and to have that bike resistered to an ADDRESS by law and then there is the point of ROAD INSURANCE all of these need to be looked at
Stop people walking in cycle lanes then, especially with their dogs crapping everywhere.
I once saw a cyclist run a red light at a pelican crossing and plough straight into a girl crossing the road, fortunately she was ok as it was clear from his approach he believed the lights were only there for the cars.
Cycle rickshaw is more than 20kg and a lot of e bike so what is he going on about
Bicyclists are annoying and irrational when it comes to common sense discussions about road safety
👏🏼👏🏼
Correction. Death by reckless driving doesn’t exist. And death by careless driving has a max sentence of 5 years.
absolutely needed
This is getting silly
I’ve seen cyclists not give way at zebra crossings.
That old man is talking 💩 I’ve heard of a cyclist running over a two year old and nearly killing her. So why is he acting like a cyclist can’t inflict real harm is beyond me.
This just shows you britain is an anti cycling country.
IMO Cyclists are the No.1 scurge of britains roads, followed closely by lorries and white van men. Introduce no cycling zones..save our country🙂
Bravo, about time, licence and insurance next.
Right, the UK GOVERNMENT has officially lost the plot. I’m leaving the uk. Peace ✌️
So the government will release more dangerous prison to find room for dangerous cyclist as prison are full, saying that, they are cyclepaths.
MCCARTHY is giving me Jimmy Saville vibes.
Cyclists really need to be more careful. They're maniacs!
What's the difference of a reckless Cyclists/Motorists? They're both reckless. Both have to be considerate plus Cyclists cycle on footpaths which are for padestrians.
Imagine caring this much about bikes
