Amazing the three cyclists who flouted the law again on the same night after already receiving a fine.
Should've put this in the current lighting up thread!

Good policy, buy some lights and we'll cancel the fine.

About time. Too many cyclists get away with too much and in the eyes of the public it reflects badly on then rest of us.

Cue a babble of cyclists to complain that this is victimisation and the police should be spending resources stopping motorists.

I don't pay any attention to lawbreakers who whinge when they get caught. Their choice.

Did anyone else spot the obvious error that TVP have made here? It's a bit obscure, but quite fundamental. @CopperCyclist might get it.
Don't you think if instead they spent a couple of hours stopping speeding drivers and those on a mobile would have a greater impact on safety?

In was in TVP for 8 years before transferring, and can confirm they stop plenty of speeding motorists. Plenty and then some.
I don't doubt that. But then someone thiught let's leave the really dabgerous ones for a bit and do the less dangerous ones?

No. Those are GD officers, wouldn't be involved in speed enforcement anyway. If they weren't doing this they would be doing other things, and speed enforcement wouldn't be one of them, so the people you perceive as really naughty aren't having a night off from being harassed.
No one figured out their major clanger yet?

Tvp do this every year. It is a photo op for them, nothing more, there is zero evidence it makes cycling safer which is not surprising when you remember unlit riders feature in just 2% of cylist KSI stats. Lazy policing from a lazy and anti-cyclist police force. Pointless wasting limited resources on the road user least likely to harm.
