Some experts say for road safety cyclists should pass a test before being allowed on public roads. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
There have been recent calls for mandatory tests for
cyclists
before they are permitted on public motorways. In my opinion, though Use synonyms
this
proposal must be managed properly it is advisable.
Detractors argue Linking Words
this
reform is essentially a complex method of fixing a problem that does not exist. Riding a bike is a fairly simple skill that most people learn as children. It is unclear at what age Linking Words
such
a test and license should be logistically required. The extra paperwork and bureaucracy would make it a negative for both Linking Words
cyclists
and those charged with enforcing Use synonyms
this
law. If passed, there is Linking Words
also
the strong likelihood that it would be tokenistic. Linking Words
Cyclists
might be able to pass a basic written test and demonstrate the ability to ride a bike but that would not ensure they will actually be safe riders.
Use synonyms
However
, in my opinion, there exists a need since most Linking Words
cyclists
are not particularly cognizant of the hierarchy of vehicles. In most cities, Use synonyms
cyclists
are considered a menace or an annoyance and increase the odds of accidents. Many Use synonyms
cyclists
feel they are essentially the same as cars and weave into traffic where cars and motorbikes travelling at faster speeds rightly belong. If there was better education and a law that required Use synonyms
cyclists
to learn unwritten rules of etiquette, Use synonyms

would greatly enhance road conditions for motorists and pedestrians. Linking Words
For instance
, in certain European nations, Linking Words
cyclists
must apply for licenses and Use synonyms
this
has created a culture where bicycles fit into the flow of traffic more seamlessly.
In conclusion, Linking Words
although
there are significant practical hurdles, I believe requiring Linking Words
cyclists
to apply for licenses addresses a key public road issue. Governments should Use synonyms
therefore
enact Linking Words
this
or similar regulation.Linking Words
