And 5 years in gaol.

Can't see them ever giving out such a penalty.

mwhahahahahahaha.

and it gets even funnier;

Mr Pallas said the laws put cyclists on a similar footing to
motorists when it came to being charged with serious traffic offences.


If that is true, then it is just a polly wank as no motorists has ever

What I find insulting is not that they want to appear to have done
something, it's that they expect us to swallow that they have.
