Paying fixed penalty notices

Does anyone know if they're likely to give any wiggle room on this, or where I could phone? The police don't have any phone numbers other than 999

101 - non emergency number

Okay, try 020 7404 1212

It's an urban myth. You can't have your licence endoresed for offences you commit on a pushbike.

You don't get points for stealing cars.

Would that not be a criminal offance as opposed to a driving one?

Number does not exist

there is an offence of furious cycling but you cant get done for excess speed per se because pedal cycles are not required by law to be installed with a speed recording device

Wish it can be said for Richmond Park who tend to clamp down to cyclists going too fast, and will fine you under "reckless and furious cycling", even thought speed limit doesn't exist for a bicycle (royal parks).

I like reading this park survey showing motorists average 22mph, but cyclist's 23mph.

You do in Grand Theft Auto.

Royal Parks have their own laws and by-laws. The 20mph limit DOES apply to human powered vehicles in the Royal Parks.

hence (royal parks).

Legalities aside, lets get to the crux of the matter...

Getting a speeding fine on your bike is fucking awesome.

Well worth £30 IMO.

If I were to get a speeding fine on my bicycle, I would get it written by the police so I can defintely show I have been speeding.

Frankly, Balki, it gets boring after a while. There's something very wrong with the world when I can't do my usual 30mph (avg).

I thought Scottish law had the power to add endorsements to driving licenses for cycling offences. Might be wrong tho'.

You don't get points for stealing cars.

You can do as you are probably not insured to drive a stolen car and therefore driving while uninsured will do it.

They are driving offences, the act of stealing isn't.

Sounds like something Alex Salmond would do.... DICK

It's for speeding, not cycling, so slightly OT, but this seemed the most likely place to get some opinions/insight.

As opposed to?

doing the ol' tales of "i've been caught speeding on my bike" without anything to show for?

Almost as awesome as a "furious cycling" fine. Not really sure what you have to do to get one of those, but I imagine it's beyond my ability.
