Cyclists being nicked in London

On the BBC 6' o clock news, fine or watch a safety video, most people
chose the video as the cheapest easiest option, repeat performances
will be prosecuted if caught. Most cyclists seemed unimpressed by the
safety video.

Possible fine for what offence?

Cycling through traffic lights while on red and cycling on pavements
etc. Won't be long before no bell and no lights......well you can be
done for no lights already and then the offence goes on your driving
licence if you have one, three points perhaps?

Why would you think that being found guilty of a *cycling* offence can
affect your *driving* licence?

Why are you unaware of this, as a road user whether driving or cycling
I think you will find that you are not immune to having your license
for a car endorsed.

How would you envision a cyclist who does not posses a driving licence
having this non-existent licence endorsed?

Give an example. Just one will do of a cycling offence giving rise to
points on a motor vehicle license. References to the legislation would
be ideal.

Got a link to some evidence to back this up for the UK?

If it can be affected by offences not connected with the licence
holder's use of the road why not for an offence which /is/ connected
with the holder's use of the road?

does that mean pedestrians can also have points added to their licence for
an offence committed whilst on a road.
