probably because we have a bigger carbon footprint ,apparently that is VERY important at the moment ;)

More like cos you have your (or some one you know) name & address on the front & back of your car, makes sending fine out to you a piece of p***. Cyclists however ........

Let's look at it this way...

Say lady motorist going through the junction in green light, mobile switched-off, slowing down and observing before crossing. Lady observes cyclist stop and dismount.


Cyclist then mounts his bike and crosses junction. Lady motorist swerves sharply and crashes into a lamppost. Lady motorist dies at the scene.

Assuming that the cyclist did not flee the scene, and that there are witnesses etc etc, would he then be charged of causing death?
