Did anyone else see the incredibly biased BBC news item on Boris's new traffic enforcement for cyclists and motorists?
!
1.There was no mention of motorists being targeted whatsoever, and the item focussed on cyclists running red lights as the main theme. With focus being on a CRACKDOWN on cyclists in the city.
"Cyclists will face hefty fines for running red lights, cycling on the pavement, and *not wearing a helme*t"
What!?
I seriously hope this is a fuck up and the law hasn't suddenly changed overnight. Anyone know anymore about this helmet reference? Is there a publication on the TFL website about this new traffic safety plan from Boris?
I want to make a complaint to the BBC if I find out its incorrect.
