MOTOR-CARS AND BICYCLES.

TO THS EDITOB OFTHB PEBbS Sir, —In your issue; of Saturday a letter appeared on the above subject signed "Safety First," in support of whi.ch 'I pen. a few- lines. As a motorist I rarely have any difficulty with car drivers, although we all know ;they" are far from faultless, but I, am. in constant fear, of running down cyclists, who appear to trust to luck, and . the . taken-ior-granted idea that the " motorist . will take care ■of them; If cyclists knew the -great- risks they- • run _in starting out after . dark without lights. back and front of their machines there would be few; without. On Ferry . road any evening between the hours of five-and six o clock- ono could count hundreds who have neither lamp nor ; reflector and, ;.as : "Safety First" has pointed out, it is only the extraordinary care taken by motorists that saves them from being. run down. In view, of the difficulty of our Traffic , Inspectors in a getting > the correct napes and addresses of these persons, when approached, I would suggest that, the .'(Sty County Councils bring «ia a hy-law insistiing. oa;tibe re-

gistration. of pnsh< cycles, for, tho small ram of,- pay . 5s per.annum, and. a."further. 25.. for number vplates. The law could be enforced; without any difficulty,, relieved of much fraitless-work, and'the revenue thus obtained , would - J6e most useful, to the* controlling t bodies.:— Yours, etc., ' . ANXIOUS MOTORIST. * , June 17th,, 1930. '
