Careless cyclists may have to undergo retraining if they cause accidents or even if they merely violate road rules, under a legal revision scheduled to take effect June 1.
An apparent rise in collisions and other incidents resulting in injury or even death led the Cabinet on Tuesday to approve an amendment to the road traffic law that will spell out harsher penalties for negligent cyclists.
The amendment aims to make the roads and sidewalks safer. It will spell out stricter punishment for cyclists fined on the spot or charged with traffic violations twice or more within a period of three years.
