The long arm of the plod.....

winston ... don't even mention car ownership or driving licenses or car drivers as you can get points on your license for offences committed on a bike (dangerous driving, due care and attention, intoxicated)...

'fraid not, cycling offences have their own set of rules which are completely separate from car ownership - a driving licence relates to your ability to drive, not your ability to cycle.

I contacted the police about this very point after someone else told me the same thing, this is the response I got.
