Default Police pick on cyclist

The report reports the claims of the police. That does not prove
that he was not showing *any* lights.


The report reports the claims of both sides.

It may be that the police
simply failed to spot the lights amongst the general array of lights
on the road, it may be that the police were unable to see them as
the police were not in the right position (for example looking from
the side), it may be that their view was obstructed by something, it
may be that the police are lying, it may be that the report is
wrong. All sorts of possibilities.


But most likely, given his acceptance of a fixed penalty, that he
failed to display lights at night.

The police had already used threatening words and behaviour.


Where in the report did you read that?

No doubt this continued and the victim gave in.


I'm sure Mr "still shocked and angry" still has plenty of time to
challenge the FPN and have his day in court if he feels he has
suffered an injustice.
