Brighton cyclist ordered to pay £1,000 for ignoring one-way sign
 
I wonder what grounds the cyclist thought he had to make a crown court
appeal against a thirty quid fine?

"The force said that the aim was partly intended to raise awareness that the

It's ridiculous just how many times this has to be said. Either cyclists are
inherently thick and cannot grasp the simple concept, or they just have
absolutely no regard for the law. Or both.

The usual - denial.
They think that laws don't apply to them.
This judgement proves otherwise.

And about time. The sheer arrogance of cyclists is incredible.

Dave - Cyclists VOR. "Many people barely recognise the bicycle as a
legitimate mode of transport; it is either a toy for children or a
vehicle fit only for the poor and/or strange," Dave Horton, of Lancaster
University, wrote in an interim assessment of the Understanding Walking
and Cycling study. "For them, cycling is a bit embarrassing, they fail
to see its purpose, and have no interest in integrating it into their
lives, certainly on a regular basis."

Or...... cars are bigger and heavier and going the wrong way up a one way street in a car is FAR more dangerous.

If the cyclist thinks the law is inappropriate , then he should capaign to
get it altered.
The law exists, obeying it is trivially easy. Breaking it was deliberate, a
fine on discovery should to be expected. The level of danger has nothing to
do with the case.

You can't change stupid laws, we will always have stupid laws.

A car going the wrong way can cause a nasty accident. A bicycle won't.

And it's best to check for pigs before driving the wrong way - I did it every working day for two years to avoid a queue in roadworks. Got nicked precisely 0 times. I only had 3 occurrences of another drive shaking his fist.
