There were plans to introduce a law which requires drivers to allow one metre when passing cyclists on roads with a speed limit under 50 km/h.
The Road Safety Authority regularly runs a tv ad on the subject.
It is urgently required. But what is also most urgently needed is that fellow-cyclists when passing out other cyclists take a wide berth.
The behaviour of many cyclists at present is unacceptable, dangerous and arrogant too.
Wearing headphones/earplugs should be illegal while cycling. And appropriate lights are an essential.
But for it to work the Garda have to police cyclists.
A cycling disaster cannot be avoided if the current behaviour persists.
