	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/02/2022 answer text <p>Cyclists are encouraged, but not required, to take out some form of insurance, and many cyclists have insurance cover through their membership of cycling organisations. All cyclists are required to obey the rules of the road, and the fact that a cyclist is not insured does not prevent them from being liable for the consequences of their actions. The police, and ultimately the courts, can take into account all the circumstances of an incident and judge accordingly.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Copeland answering member printed Trudy Harrison question first answered 04/02/2022 14:46:27 answering member 4593 label Biography information for Trudy Harrison
