Then perhaps better enforcement of on the spot fines at traffic lights would achieve the same ends, no?

And taxes. I think the taxes would make bike ownership, distribution and acceptance
far more respected - like that of a car. Owning a stolen car anywhere beyond Chavland is not cool or acceptable, and those who own and use cars are expected and respected for using and respecting the rules of the road.

I assume you're a driver?
Has Vehicle Excise Duty disuaded you from speeding?

As a cyclist I can give plenty of examples of bad driving where drivers have failed to uphold the rules of the road, despite obviously paying a levy to use it.

[edit]

Taxes are already levied on the distribution and sale of bicycles, in the forms of import duty and VAT.

I'm not a driver, no.
But I won't object to paying my dues and respecting the rules of the road if/when I become one if/when I move out of Mordor.
