The Daily PollPoll: Should cyclists have to wear hi-vis clothes and helmets by law?
Cyclists have reacted poorly to the proposal, but what do you think?
MEMBERS OF AN Garda Síochána have called for hi-vis vests and helmets to be made compulsory for cyclists.
The calls were made at this week’s conference of the Association of Garda Sergeants and Inspectors (AGSI), who want Frances Fitzgerald to legislate for the issue.
However, the association didn’t pass a similar motion for pedestrians, despite 23 pedestrians having been killed in darkness hours last year.
