Not ours. They are too busy nicking bicyclists without helmets. Now how does a bicyclist wearing a helmet save a knocked down OAP? |

There is the issue of instilling a respect for law and the rioghts of others - even if only a grudging one - in the lawless. |

Confiscate the bike. That is what they do to uninsured cars and trail bikes. |

Confiscate the bike. That is what they do to uninsured cars and trail bikes. I have long advocated the immediate seizure of the bikes of such law-breaking cyclists, principally on the basis that because cyclists cannot be banned from cycling, there is no properly effective sanction that can be applied except for seizure and *destruction*. |
