Default If cyclists are so rich, why are their fines so low?

Cyclist Harvey Charlton (19) of Falklands Drive, Wisbech, was fined
after pleading guilty to riding a cycle without reasonable
consideration to other persons using the road.

The court heard that Charlton was ringing along Lynn Road at about
5.25pm on May 20 when the offence happened.

It was said he was witnessed by police to cycle through the junction
of Lynn Road, in the direction of the police vehicle. He was then
seen to swerve to the middle of the road, gesturing at one of the
stationary vehicles on the opposite side of the road, which was
waiting at red traffic lights. He was then seen to swerve at a 90
degree angle across the carriageway into Tinkers Lane, causing an
oncoming Ford Fiesta to carry out an emergency stop, narrowly missing
Charlton - with the defendant then raising his hand and swearing at
the Ford driver.
Charlton was fined £30, and ordered to pay costs of £10 and a victim
surcharge of £30.


They are not rich, they are mostly on the dole and live in council scum
houses.
