Not long ago I wrote about how an idiot cyclist had caused chaos on the M25<\/a> by riding his bicycle on there, and how that in spite of trying to give the police a lesson on the Highway Code, he had been let off with just words of caution. In fact, it would appear that he was one of those people who is a few olives short of a pizza \u2013 but not enough to warrant being locked up for his own safety. Incredibly, the severest warning was apparently issued to motorists that they should watch out for such people (see the following paragraph for an update to this).<\/p>\n

Well, another recent story tells how a cyclist was stopped on the M3<\/a>. He claimed he was following his satnav instructions. It appears that both he, and the other idiot from the earlier story, were given \u00a350 on-the-spot fines. The previous story didn\u2019t mention that.<\/p>\n

The problem is that both of them are complete imbeciles, and should have been prosecuted further. Neither story makes clear whether the two men had driving licences or not, though if they did then they KNEW the rules regarding cycling on motorways. If they DID have driving licences, then both should have been endorsed with points and a much larger fine. Both should have been named and shamed.<\/p>\n

The police are taking too soft a line with cyclists, who are a growing menace on the roads. Jeez, you can\u2019t even get away from the prats on motorways now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
