Default Oxford motorists immune from crackdowns.

In the Oxford crackdown on unlit cycles which netted 106 unlit bikes in a

a 60 pound fpn can be issued.http://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/archive/...ews/8672181.St...

Pity the police do not conduct a similar campaign against faulty cars,
probably because they are motorists themselves and therefore hate
cyclists anyway, like the motorists who infest this cycling newsgroup
