No solution until cyclists learn traffic rules
<!-- by line --><!-- end by line -->

I REFER to the report, "LTA rejects call to register" (April 4).
Until we educate cyclists to obey traffic rules, measures like registering bicycles in order to identify errant cyclists will be ineffective.
Educating cyclists will reduce the danger that they pose to other road users, particularly to licensed drivers.
The Land Transport Authority and the Traffic Police must sit down together to discuss this matter.
This is especially important as young people are allowed to cycle on the roads without being clearly instructed on their responsibilities to other road users.
