2SER Breakfast

If you’re driving this morning and can see cyclists.. be aware that laws have changed. Many people in the cycling community are saying that Sydney’s strict laws have gotten a whole lot stricter.

Cars must give bikes at least a metre of space and if they don’t they’ll risk a fine of $319. Other changes include increased fines for not wearing a helmet, riding through a red light and carrying a form of identification. So are these new laws a step too far?

Professor Chris Rissell from the University of Sydney joins us this morning to tell us what these new laws mean for you.
