CYCLISTS MUST LEARN
A course of education for the erring cyclist is being tried put by the Leipzig police. Cyclists violating the traffic regulations are taken to the police station, where their cycles are “ arrested and kept in custody ” while the offenders are given a half-hour’s lesson on the principles of traffic. They are then questioned, and if they fail to pass the examination their bicycles are retained until after one or more subsequent lessons they can pass as cyclists qualified to be let loose on the public highways. On the day this innovation came into force it was found that 70 per cent, of the apprehended offenders were ignorant of tho simplest traffic rules.
