The investigations into the motor accidents of the past few months reveal that most of them were caused due to cyclists riding in the night without lamps and tail lights.

Hence an awareness programme for the cyclists, on the dangers of riding minus lights is to be conducted by the police with immediate effect.

Commencing October 01, 2011 stern legal action would be instituted against those riding bicycles without lights and tail lights in the night, Prishantha Jayakody, the Police Media Spokesperson said.
