Irresponsible cyclists targeted in new laws

Cyclists who flout the law but escape prosecution on a technicality could be apprearing in court in future.

The Department of Infrastructure has unveiled new laws which aim to tighten up legislation on a range of issues.

It's asking for the public's views on the Road Traffic Legislation (Amendment) Bill 2016 - including whether to properly outlaw riding bicyles on pavements.

Infrastructure Minister Phil Gawne says in the past, it's been a difficult offence to prosecute because of the wording of the law.
