Another crazy French idea

[sallylillian]

Does it apply to visiters?
French Motorhomes over 3500kg have to have speed limit signs on the back but visiters are exempt.

I have read elsewhere from a German who has scrutinised the published documentation that it only applys to French registered vehicles. Stand down!

HERE WE GO!! THE EXPERTS ON EVERYTHING!!!! ALL THIS BECAUSE OF A BLOODY STICKER
DJT

Sounds like we have an Expert on Experts ?

Further to the stickers. EU law does not require them on what are private vehicles but UK law does. Therefore as Uk law offers greater H&S benefits it takes precedence & the 'compressed gases' ' LPG' , stickers are required. Additionly anyone with a cpap oxygen machine requires 'oxygen' stickers also ,the same as medical vehicles.

 

[Peter and Julie]

It's only a sticker, what's the problem, does it require all these posts, don't see what it can do but good if it just advises one cyclist and no harm whatsoever.

Simple really, it won't! Cyclists are a law unto themselves.

 

[busby]

Are they for cyclists "benefit" but will it stop them? Mmmmmmmh, will need to think about that.

Any cyclist with half a brain would keep well away from buses or trucks and vans..dont think you need a sign to tell you..BUSBY.

These cyclist bashing threads are really irritating.

Your comment should read 'SOME cyclists are a law unto themselves.'

Stop stereotyping people because of their activity, hobby, mode of dress etc etc etc and your arguments and points of view would have far more credence. Yes - I ride bikes, carefully and responsibly I think.

Most goods vehicles you see in towns already have stickers warning of blind areas.

What happens if the bus or truck comes to them?

What always amazes me is thats motorists get away with killing and seriously injuring thousands of people a year but if a cyclists, who is probably also a motorists, commits a minor infringement of the rules then they are the spawn of the devil.

People has such a twisted view of those who choose not to travel by motorised means yet can anybody find a case of a cyclists k

What's all this got to do with putting a sticker on a van.

Go back to my first post of victim blaming

It's not about blaming anyone just a warning for anyone as far as I can see ,could be walkers.

Apart from holding miles of traffic up (because they want a chat)? here is another view:

Police worker who crashed into a pensioner is let off with £30 fine

The off-duty worker from Sussex Police who slammed into 73-year-old John Wilson, on Tarring Road, Worthing, on October 19, as he was riding his bike has been let off with a £30 fine.

Like to condone that eh?

Of course you can find instances where cyclists are to blame, I was waiting for that one, but how many instance are there of motorist?

Here's one for balance. How many would you like me to find

Speeding Redbourn drink-driver who killed man jailed

Winston Chau was killed and his mother was badly injured when their car was hit in a 30mph zone.

Wrong way round surely!....the signs should be firmly affixed to handlebars of the cycle so the user can clearly see the hazard and ride accordingly...why put them on the vehicle they are under/over taking.....by making it law to have them on the cycle there is no reason the user can’t see it....

 

[sallylillian]

When I was a lad my Dad would not let me cycle to school until I passed my Cycling Proficiency Badge.

So where would you like them put on cars?

And they should teach the modern equivalent more in schools now.

Not needed...they are to warn vulnerable road users such as cyclists.

Ok, now what about driving here or France, which side is the blind side, if you have your sticker on the passenger side here that would be for cyclists up the inside but in Europe it would be on the overtaking side.
Better have them all round

Who makes them vulnerable?

 

[Gellyneck]

...... but if a cyclists, who is probably also a motorists, commits a minor infringement of the rules then they are the spawn of the devil.

It's another bit of victim blaming.

So who is the "the victim" if a cyclist committed an infringement? The cyclist, if they are physically injured, but what about the driver of the other vehicle who perhaps suffers mental trauma as a result of the infringement?

You are making the mistake of thinking that these stickers are to do with cyclists, they are not, they are all about large vehicle blind spots and apply equally to Pedestrians, Cyclist, Cars drivers motorcycles etc etc, if as a driver you think that they don't apply to you you really should think again.

 

[Stoosal]

Poor riding usually......

Perhaps they are both a victim. Back to the design of vehicles perhaps?

Sure I can also google cyclist incidents and come up with thousands!
Have you or any others (brethren) cyclist buddies past a test for a bike? Are insured? Have a registration mark for your mode of transport? The answer would be probably not!

 

[DBK]

It clearly is there fault. should be taxed and insured. Same as any road user!

Including pedestrians?
