Deiseb a wrthodwyd Require electric bicycle users to take basic training, display licence plates and to have insurance

Electric bicycles are commonly used vehicles on our roads, with some capable of keeping up with (or indeed overtaking) motor vehicles given the new farcical 20 mph law that was recently introduced.

Many people use these electric bicycles which appear to be highly unregulated and can keep up with cars, not least if they are altered to allow higher speeds.

This petition calls for more stringent regulations on these road users, seeing as they will now be doing similar speeds to cars.

I have personally witnessed many electric bicycle users disobey traffic laws, dangerously overtake cars, blast through red lights and cycle on pedestrian areas and enough, is enough.

These electric bicycles should be regulated by means of displaying license plates and have a minimum of third party insurance in order that they are held to account like all other road users.

If they collide with parked cars, disobey traffic laws to cause an accident or collide with a pedestrian, insurance and licence plates would reduce hit and runs, and prevent the non-fault party from disadvantage or hassle of launching civil claims.

Cardiff City Centre is a perfect example of this, where every day, electric bicycle couriers speed amongst pedestrians on paved areas, namely Queen Street and St Mary's Street, with no accountability for their actions.

Compulsory training, similar to that of the motorbike licence, would also aid in reduction of incidents if the disputed 20mph limits are to remain.

Pam gwrthodwyd y ddeiseb hon?

Mae’n ymwneud â rhywbeth nad yw’r Senedd na Llywodraeth Cymru yn gyfrifol amdano.

Dim ond deisebau nad ydynt yn bodloni’r safonau ar gyfer deisebau y byddwn yn eu gwrthod

Mae deisebau a wrthodwyd yn cael eu cyhoeddi yn yr iaith y cawsant eu cyflwyno ynddi
