New Law Proposes Tougher Penalties for Dangerous Cyclists

MPs debate Criminal Justice Bill amendments to hold cyclists accountable for fatal and injurious collisions.

Cyclists could face up to 14 years in prison for causing death by dangerous cycling.
Proposed amendments include new offences such as causing death or serious injury by careless cycling.
The law aims to equate penalties for dangerous cycling with those for dangerous driving.
The initiative follows high-profile incidents, including the death of an elderly woman in Regent's Park.
Supporters argue the law will enhance road safety and ensure equal accountability for all road users.
