Detective Chief Superintendent Andy Cox has joined the discussion on number plates for cyclists, saying he welcomes the media's road danger coverage... but suggested they would be better served "focusing on the primary causes of road death" which, he
added, "is not cycling and it's not the issue of cyclist registration plates"..
A comment that sparked calls for Good Morning Britain to get in touch next time they need someone to 'debate' Howard Cox...
This all comes after the Partridgian heir Richard Madeley, the aforementioned Fair Fuel UK founder Cox and Timmy Mallett covered the topic in a rather rushed Good Morning Britain segment on yesterday morning's show.
In a series of events you can probably already predict, Cox claimed... cyclists "don't contribute anything financially to the roads". He also hit "running riot", running red lights and riding on pavements in a strong early anti-cycling bingo contender
for this week.
So, yes, have a scroll back through yesterday's live blog if you wish, in the meantime, if Mr Cox is correct, it seems we can all claim back that tax we've been paying...
