As for your 'malicious fake reports' line, maybe motorists shouldn't have number plates any more either.

I think it is the anonymity that makes many cyclists more reckless. Nobody can identify you if they want to report you, and this makes many of them just do as they please. There needs to be a clamp down.
So, everyone should wear an overt number so they can be watched and easily traced? Think it through.

Motorists have number plates to confirm compliance with license requirements, emissions limitations, MOT's, insurance etc; none of which apply to cyclists. Gawd, how many times....

My advice to the kids going to this school (you do remember that the discussion is about children being monitored don't you?) is to only display the issued number when at school. What they do outside school is none of the headmaster's business.
