Re Riding without a bell takes toll, April 9:
A cyclist without a bell is fined and loses demerit points on
her driver's licence. There is no logical connection between riding a bicycle
and a licence to drive a car. Imagine two cyclists, neither with a bell, are both fined. The latter happens to have a driver's licence is doubly
punished with demerit points.
What's next? Demerit points for late payment of
taxes? Demerit points for not shovelling the snow in front of our homes?
Surely someone in the bureaucracy can see the nonsense in relating two distinct situations?
