Police fining cyclists

tallsam I can't believe some of you. Running reds and then complaining about getting caught. If you wanna break the law be prepared to deal with the possibility of getting caught and the subsequent fines.

You can't use "its not fair because they don't prosecutre cars and buses for blah blah blah" as an excuse. If we all (all road users that is) did that then the roads would be far more anarchic than now.

DISCLAIMER: I'm not telling you not to jump reds, how you ride is up to you. Just be aware that when you get caught you'll more than likely be fined. If its a risk you're prepared to take then fine go for it (within the bounds of safety of course).

dude, if you have read all the posts properly, no one actually complained about getting caught. i for one didn't since i got caught yesterday. the whole discussion is mainly to warn other riders to be careful out there not to break the law AND the rants are actually on the subject of the attitude of the coppers where applicable. the one who booked me was a decent fella i didn't say anything bad about him either. don't get self-righteous too quickly before reading carefully whats been written alright?
