Brighton cyclist fined £700 for going through a red light.

£700 fine for cyclist

Richard Hodgson, 53, was found guilty of ignoring a red traffic light, cycling without lights, cycling on the pavement and failing to stop for police.

Brighton magistrates fined him £700 and ordered him to pay £215 in costs.

The Argus article on the web is much shorter than the one published where a Bricycles spokesperson described the fine as 'harsh'!

Can Brighton's cyclists and motorists get along?

Can Brighton's cyclists and motorists get along? (From The Argus): Inspector Bill Whitehead says:
"What the cyclists often don’t think about is the devastating effect it has on motorists.
“If they knock someone off their bike and kill them, when it’s not their fault, they are left emotionally scarred for life."
How inconsiderate of those dead cyclists!
