Now I like that idea!
I’d be quite happy to pay for that service, as I’m sure many cyclists would. Even if there were some cyclists who were unable/unwilling to pay for it, they would likely benefit overall from improved driving standards; as the probability of bad drivers being stung for a hefty fine would increase massively.

I have to agree that, as a frequent visitor, it’s unlikely she was unaware that this was a disabled space. However, the marking is inadequate and could be missed. It looks a bit like those parking space occupancy sensors. So I think the parking company is being a bit cheeky here.
But this is why I think inconsiderate driving should be de-criminalised and enforcement handed over to a civil organisation. The ferocity with which parking management companies hound drivers and the zero-tolerance approach that their CCTV cameras enable is admirable. Imagine what they could do with close-pass camera footage from cyclists!

All good points. Perhaps he is being a bit dramatic and maybe only needs to never set foot in Polzeath again. If he really wants to drive, there’s a nice Spar with ample off-road parking just down the road in Rock!

Alternatively, he could just buy a bag of frozen croissants (cheaper and nicer than shop baked), get an iPad and download the Daily Mail app, then he wouldn’t need to visit the shop at all (pretty sure it’s the DM!).

I’m not convinced his feet did much ‘setting foot’ around Cornwall anyway, considering he required his car for a round trip less than 1.5 miles…

I wonder if he’s benefitting financially in any way from this vigilantism?Ashley Neal doesn’t confront law breaking drivers like Cycling Mikey does. He just records it, doesn’t bother reporting to the police, and uses it to
make moneyeducate drivers on youtube.Imagine for instance if he, as a trainer of driving instructors, remonstrated with a driving instructor. The resentment and animosity that would be created between those two groups! It would be terrible when we should all just be trying to get along and create the best flow. oh wait… https://youtu.be/ZurmspspUSQ?t=552

You’re welcome and this was before my second coffee of the day too!
It’s quite hard to find a list of fixed penalties that apply. What seems clear to me is the exact same offence is being committed (Sec. 36) whether in a car or on a bicycle. The ultimate penalty that can be given in court is £1000 and 3 points.
So it would seem that 3 points (and up to £1000 fine) could theoretically be handed out in court. However, it’s unlikely a court would impose points on a cyclist or fine them as much as a driver; so the fixed penalties are different to reflect that.
The officer has used the
The officer has used the wrong offence code. They’ve booked them for this:
Drive on a Road Other Than Motorway and Fail Comply with Green Arrow Traffic [Light / Signal]
When it should have been this:
Should be £50 and no points.
My god – what do you have to say to get banned from the Daily Heil website?
You need to talk sense and quote facts. It doesn’t sit well with sensationalism and rumour.
Ah yes, the replies have gone
Ah yes, the replies have gone too. I don’t mind controversial, but when it over steps the mark, then it needs to be dealt with. Which the road.cc team have done.
I have been known to be controversial myself sometimes, which has seen me receive a blow from the ban hammer (not this site though). Still not sure why to be honest; I really thought my insightful opinions on cycling infrastructure, driver behaviour and Brexit were a positive contribution…
