The cyclist being clipped by a trailer… Cycle accidents are just not viewed as serious enough,” says Ian Ross.
WHEN a video went viral late last year of a cyclist being knocked off a bike by a trailer, Pedal Power ACT discovered a major issue with the law.
The incident eventually saw the driver lose a small number of demerit points and fined $393 for negligent driving, however, the charge was in response to the driver travelling over an island, and not in response to it endangering the bike rider.
“They would have got the same fine had they not hit the bike rider,” says Pedal Power ACT CEO Ian Ross.
