"Pavement cyclist is first to be fined"
From http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/l...icles/15987898
"A pavement cyclist has become the first person in London to receive an on-the-spot fine for anti-social behaviour [...]" Whilst I'm all in favour of clamping down on pavement cyclists, a 30 quid fine seems a bit harsh for a first offence. I would have thought a period of issuing verbal warnings first would be more appropriate. Either that, or a more even-handed approach to fining people... They could start with all the drivers who ignore advance stop lines (and stop lines). As for the quote from Plod that "Cycling on pavements is the thing most people worry about in this area", I can only assume that is unique to Kensington and Chelsea... The rest of us tend to worry more about vandalism, petty theft and dangerous motorists. Of course, this is the Standard though so usual standards of journalism do not apply... On the plus side, maybe this will mean that traffic wardens stop routinely cycling on the pavement... Pete (a bit concerned about the no spitting thing). |
