Cyclists
- Question
- Whether they will take steps to ensure that bicycle users abide by the Highway Code.
- Answer
-
My Lords, the Highway Code and road traffic law apply as much to cyclists as to anyone else. The police can prosecute cyclists who drive dangerously, carelessly, ignore traffic signs or signals, cycle on the pavement or commit any other offence. Such offences carry maximum fines ranging from £2,500 to £500. Enforcement of the law and the Highway Code is a matter for the police and the relevant authorities.
