• It would be a civil matter - the only thing that the owner could enforce would be their property rights, which would boil down to using reasonable force to remove you from their property, or keep you off it in the first place, and suing for damages caused by any trespass.
    They would not be able to enforce any laws under RTA or other act.

    If that was true then how would police justify a fine on a cyclist for using a path/road in a park(as they are claiming the olympic park area is that)? Why isn't it a civil matter if you are a cyclist?

  • I was answering the question of what if the road were private.

    I don't know what the status of the road in question is.

    Police enforce fines on cyclists on paths (generally) under council byelaws, and footways under the RTA.

    The Jeremy Vine fine is a bollocks fine, and no legislation exists to permit it.

    Which fines are you referring to specifically?
