Haha.
I would love this to become a reality.
Here is why nothing will happen...
Layer 1.
The National Police Agency
Layer 2.
decided Thursday to set up an advisory panel
Layer 3.
to consider mandatory safety training and other measures to curb unsafe bicyclists.
Layer 4.
The NPA will consider revising...
etc etc etc etc.
"Consider, decided, advisory, consider, maybe, think about, might, in a bid to, possibly, end of the year", blah blah blah.
and,
"Police cited bicyclists in 3,956 cases last year, compared with 3,274 in the first seven months of this year."
The only way that can be anything near accurate is if this is a figure for each cyclist, not the whole lot of them.
