Why have children if you risk them like this?

In four hours, the officers stopped 70 lorries and issued 15 fixed
penalty notices for offences such as the vehicles not being fit for
the road.

They also stopped 100 cyclists, who were given safety advice.

15 out of 70 (21%) lorry drivers were guilty of an offence.

100 out of 100 cyclists (100%) were not guilty of an offence.

What a nutter.

Does he really think that his children are safe in that thing.

Typical psycholist mentality: I have a right to do what I like on the road, and
if it kills someone else - well tough.

(Waiting for Crispin to tell us that many people use such things in Holland.
here is a clue for him: we are not in Holland)

Rubbish. You can be guilty of an offence without a case having to go to court
(which was your little trap wasn't it?)

Just because the police let them off does not make them not guilty.

Isn't it the case that in Copenhagen if a cycle route exists by a
road cyclists must use it and are barred from the road? I think many
would find that a most acceptable proposal.

Define "we" and compare and contrast it with the 60,000,000 (approx)
population of the United Kingdom.
