I just redid the pdf and formatted it a bit better, it is down to 10 pages now so more readable.

I have never ever in my entire life ever broken the law.
Chris and my drug dealer can testify to that ;)

'Operated on a public road a pedal
cycle which was not equipped with at
least one brake that operated on the
rear wheel or wheels"

does that mean a fixie with no proper brake is legal?
as you still have the hop lock and skid brake

Only thoses with narrow minds fail to see that the difinition of impossible is " lack of imagination and incentive"

I see there were a couple of laws that didn't apply, I removed them and updated the pdf - 9 pages now.

There are no points for cycling offences. Where did you see points?

It appears as if the hubbers who claim to never break laws are not currently logged on. If they were I am sure the second option would have votes by now.

About time that our government implements something. I can see things coming together in SA. I support it 100%. You definately got my vote for the next elections. :-)

Whats the point if no traffic official will ever enforce these laws. Hell when i was 8 and i skipped a red light on my BMX I got a R50 fine and my ass whipped by my dad, thats like double jeopardy.

The point is that some hubbers say it is wrong to break any law or to try and interpret it differently (as in have a light instead of a reflector). I am waiting for these hubbers to speak up and tell us they don't break any laws. So far they are very quiet.

There is a general rule that requires no driver operate a vehicle under the influence, whether tin can or pedal cycle.
