Cyclists - time for a change in the law?

[retox]

With more cyclists taking to the road due to the price of petrol and trying to be greener isn't it about time they were required to have some sort of insurance.

Yet another death caused by utter stupidity and ignorance.

Why is it OK to kill someone by riding a bike into them but not so acceptable in the eyes of the law to do the same thing in a car? Who picks up the tab when a cyclist damages you or you vehicle?

They should but at what age would it come into force, you could get a ten year old knock someone over and kill them. In the case you have then it sounds like they let him off far to lightly.
