You should ask this question in a car driving group, this group is for
UK Cycling related content.

It is related to cycling because cyclists have to pay for them.


I did not realise that cyclists are the only payees into the
Government's coffers. Goodness they must be high earners, can you tell
us your financial position, it must be very good.

Cyclists on average pay more council tax than non cyclists.
Since traffic light cameras, by nature, generate no revenue it means cyclists pay for them.



Good grief, another loony, they must all be given the name of the group

Oh come on... that's a *good* 'un:

"Cyclists on average pay more council tax than non cyclists".

Very inventive; you've got to give him that.
