If the GMP can do this many........
How many could the Met do?
Police have slapped 400 cyclists with fines in just 10 days as part of a crackdown on 'dangerous and irresponsible' biking. The £30 penalty notices were handed out along Oxford Road and Wilmslow Road for offences such as running red lights, not having lights fitted, cycling on footpaths and using mobile phones whilst cycling. Cyclists were also fined for dangerously weaving in and out of traffic. http://www.manchestereveningnews.co....gerous-4729068

Bet they would get a far greater proportion than cyclists. Paul

It would be better if the British Toy and Hobby Association showed some responsibility and implemented a recall of these defective toys. And you could be in trouble for conspiring to waste police time, sonny boy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpQCa2uatio

Locating lawbreaking motorists in Manchester is a bit like shooting fish in a barrel. Bet they would get a far greater proportion than cyclists. Bet they would run out of fixed penalty forms first! They probably had to blow the force's printing budget to amass as many as 400 this time... -- Mark
