Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Baroness Oppenheim-Barnes (Conservative). It was answered on Thursday, 17 May 2007.


Cyclists: Highway Code

Question
My Lords, how many times have cyclists been prosecuted for going through red lights, which they do very frequently?
Answer

My Lords, I am with the noble Baroness in this regard; as a driver, I sometimes get irritated by cyclists who do that. I do not have those statistics in front of me, but I am willing to try to research them. All road users should be obliged to stick to the Highway Code and obey the rules of the road because that is right, and by doing that we all understand exactly what we are doing on the roads.
