on the spot fines for cyclists at last, hurrah

CYCLISTS who continue to pedal through a pedestrianised street in Bicester
are being warned the police are about to get tough.
Sheep Street has two no cycling signs - one at each end - but they are
ignored by many riders, according to Thames Valley Police.
Now officers are fed up stopping bikers to explain the rules and say they
will start handing out £30 fixed penalty notices.

Perfectly reasonable.

On a loosely related note, does anyone
know (can anyone find) the list of offences
for which policeman-is-judge-and-jury, sorry
"on the spot fines" are applicable?

What do you mean "at last" - they've been handing out FPNs for RLJ
cyclists - when they can be bothered - for the last decade at least...it's
been the subject of numerous tv programs...

No wonder cars cause so many accidents when their advocates are this
unobservant.

All the best,

Car drivers, rather than cars. Other than that you have made an
excellent point.

Only one fool I can see around here - you.
