You can be done for RLJ even if you haven't done it

If you don't identify the actual perp, YOU will get done instead.

There *has* to be something else to this story, but I can't find any
further details. It all sounds ridiculous.

Shame the same rules don't apply to serial law breaking cyclists.

Er, the (apparently) innocent party got the fines and 6 penalty points.
Do you agree with that?

If you are the registered keeper of a vehicle & refuse to identify the
driver you get prosecuted. That's the law.

If cyclists had registration plates and were properly regulated the same
would apply to them. That would overload the legal system in days.

"She had been convicted in her absence of failing to identify a driver

It didn't mention that she was the registered keeper.

Same with speeding - if you don't identify the driver, the crime gets laid at the door of the registered keeper. My missus got done for speeding twice - I got the default fine and had to tell plod that it was her driving and not me.

You have to be truthful though, otherwise you will get done for perversion of justice and maybe jailed.

Quite right! Shall we organise an anti cyclist march? You can be the
mouthy one at the front with the megaphone.
