one in 5 cyclists in westminster break the law

this is from earlier this year, but well worth watching, even cycling groups
want things tightened up.

I bet the ratio for drivers is even worse.

the ratio of lawbreaking cyclists was obtained by people watching their
actions. since cars are already observed by cameras and can be identified
and traced, then I am sure they would be fined if they were breaking the law
at the ratio you suggest of one in four. It would be a massive boost to the
economy if it were true.

Actually its much worse than that if you include drivers who exceed
the speed limits, who have been estimated at 70% of all drivers and
who are seldom caught.

And that figure must include you as you drive an illegal vehicle, with
no insurance.

so 100 per cent of Doug's rides are illegal.

No you are wrong again. I am probably on a par with the average
motorist, of even better at obeying the law, because I often use
ordinary bikes and electric trains too. Also, as a cyclist I am much
less of a threat to other road users, unlike motorists. Maybe that is
why the cops don't arrest me for sometimes using an EU compliant
electric bicycle?
