is this a hubber?

[Louzy]

a mate sent me this pic this morning, before someone flames me for using a cellphone while driving, of a cyclist being pulled over by a traffic officer just outside Sun Valley for running a red light... seems the cops will take action when they can. anybody on here recognise themselves?

ticket for being a red robot hero? I very well hope so, and about damn time too.

That said, I still think they should impose a bylaw granting cyclists to carry on through a red during low-to-no vehicular situations, but only after being at a complete standstill for a period of time. That, or they install pedestrian push-buttons for cyclists to reach as well to at least force the lights to change.

Fixed.

 

It is a metro cop's duty and purpose to reprimand offenders after all.

 

I doubt anybody will admit to being the culprit

Fined for running a red light on his bike? Bloody high time! Hope he takes his medicine like a good bad boy

Eish!

 

Good for law enforcement.

How do they enforce it, with vehicular you must have a drivers license, your car/motorbike also has a traceable number. Whats to prevent you stating your name is Piet Pompies and you live at xyz address. Also on the ticket what do you write ? White Pinarello ? He can always flip the bike over and look at the s/n but what if its is a fake and does not have one.

There is no way to enforce it. They can only give a fine and hope people would pay it.

They'll ask for your Id book/number and use that to ticket you/get you on the system, you could lie I suppose.

And those tickets are not the ones you ignore, the ticket itself serves as a summons as the cop handed it to you.

Maybe it was just a warning then

[andregrobler]

Out of interest, how big will the fine typically be?

No, they can only give a fine and hope the arsehole in question thinks twice before breaking the next law he encounters.

Other places the copper would have tried to solicit a bribe. Even it is the cyclists half bottle of luke warm 32gi. Anyway., good stuff.
