Yet another RLJ goes to jail

QUOTE:
"A MAN who led police on a 100mph chase just 15 days after being disqualified has been jailed for 10 months.

Kieran Rawlings crashed the VW Golf he was driving into a wall and then told his arresting officers: "If I hadn't crashed I would have smoked you."

Bristol Crown Court heard the 20-year-old and his three passengers were pursued in the early hours after the Golf was seen to jump a red traffic light."

In the 12 months ending of September 2014 - 524,877 people were
summonsed or charged with a motoring offence, with 85% of these people
being convicted (people found guilty or pleading guilty) of motoring
offences.

So that's 446,145 convictions. That's 1.35% of motorists breaking the
law. Only slightly higher than the number of passenger journeys by push
bike.

Bearing in mind we have ANPR cameras, more speeding cameras than
anywhere else, traffic light cameras, bus lane cameras etc, etc the
chances of an errant motorist being apprehended are extremely high = but
only 1.35% do so.

Anyone like to guess what percentage of cyclist break the law on a
regular basis and get away scott free?
