Surrey County Council have recently appointed Councillor John Furey as the cabinet member responsible for transport and the environment. He recently spoke at a meeting (20/0212) in which he stated "can we advise Surrey Highways that we don't spend money on cyclist any more - well not until they wear a day-glow vest, proper lights front and rear and are fully insured."

If that isn't bad enough, Councillor Furey is in charge of preparing Surrey roads for the Olympic events.

If that isn't bad enough... Councillor Furey apparently had a car crash, following which he left the scene of the accident and was subsequently prosecuted for driving with excess alcohol. He was banned from driving in July 2010 for the offence.

“I have no problem with cyclists, I think it’s a very healthy thing to do. It is simply that a lot of the time they go out ill-equipped for night-time cycling. They are putting themselves at risk." at a time when it is hard to see them as a driver, especially when you are as pished as I was when I got caught”

ok I might have added that last bit in but it is how I read it.

It's a lesson to us all, if you have an ounce of common sense stand in your local electon.

Not because you're the best person for the job, but because it prevents the worst getting in.
 
If you don't have proper lights front and rear, you shouldn't be on the road after lighting up time.

I'd also back an on the spot fine for jumping red lights

Similarly, punishments for cars should also apply.
 
Your bang on, everybody out after dusk should have lights on.
Especially when the county's full of drunk drivers.
But hi viz and insurance?
