Background
While motor vehicles are held accountable for their actions on the road by being easily identified by their car's registration plate, cyclists aren't as easily identifiable. It has been reported that up to 52% of accidents involving cyclists list a cyclist-error. A way to easily identify dangerous cyclists could help reduce the danger on the road for both drivers and cyclists.
