Do the police already impose these fines?


I think cyclists are most likely to get warnings, but surely some must
occasionally get nicked for a fixed penalty. Not often enough to be any
effective deterent though - if you cycle through dozens of red lights every
day, one £30 fine every few years, if that, is probably going to be in
couldn't-care-less territory.
