Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Earl of Mar and Kellie (Liberal Democrat). It was answered on Thursday, 14 December 2006.
Roads: Cyclists
- Question
- My Lords, cycling is green, and some cyclists, particularly in London, are dangerous. As there is no registration scheme for cyclists, could not ASBOs be used to curb bad cycling?
- Answer
-
Not ASBOs, my Lords, but we have empowered community officers to issue immediate fines to cyclists who cycle on the pavement. That is a very dangerous practice. It is dangerous to cyclists and dangerous to pedestrians. The officers can levy an instant penalty of £30, which is evidence of our concern that cyclists should be law-abiding.
