Oxford cyclists too dim to take the break that was offered
In the Oxford crackdown on unlit cycles which netted 106 unlit bikes in a
very short time, the police issued 30pound FPNs, but agreed to waive that if a receipt for bike lights was produced in 7 days. The receipt was stamped by the police. The cyclists have then been returning the lights and asking for refunds!! The police have asked that any shop that refunds for the lights get and pass on names and addresses of the serial lawbreakers so that a 60 pound fpn can be issued. http://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/archive/...g_light_fines/ Mrcheerful |

But as the harm caused by motorists is much greater than the harm caused by cyclists why do you single out the latter for your special attention? Are you trying to compensate for something? -- .

Bypasses the local police and shops completely. I think Oxford students might be a tad less dim than you. -- Tony |
