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
rules of the road apply to motorists and cyclists alike"

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.


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

Then i suggest they start nicking them - oh! Hang on! they have been doing
that for years - DOH!!!!


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.
