Pc Mark Pilling, from Abingdon's Road Policing Department, said: "We are

people. Forty per cent of all collisions in Oxford involved a pedal
cyclist."

It says in that link that those cyclist stopped without lights could
either pay the £30 fine or "dispute the fine in a magistrates' court
or buy cycle lights within seven days of the notice being issued."

Seeing as how you can buy a set of cycling lights for under £6
(delivered) from Amazon, it's very tempting to go to Oxford and cycle
without lights just to be offered such a good deal from the police.

Why not just do the sensible thing and buy the bloody lights in the first
place?
