It's not just kids. In this town, 70% of cyclists don't use lights at
night.

Here too.

It seems that there is a presumption that if there is an accident involving
a cyclist, it is always the motorists's fault. IMO it should be the other
way round if the cyclist is riding a bike after dark with no lights and is
involved in an accident - after all, any cyclist in that situation is
breaking the law, so why should the driver automatically get the blame?

And I cannot understand why the law allows the sale of cycles which are not
fitted with lights. It won't allow any other vehicle to be sold without them
for use on the public roads - why should cycles be any different?
