I think that's the crux of it. He was in the wrong and could have nipped it in the bud. He stuck to his principles and paid the price. 

 

Just worries me how big these fines can be, especially when you consider the amount of tax paid by the driver to keep the car on the road in the first place. Not sure the cyclist has had to pay as much to stay on the road. 

 

I don't believe the government changed the rules for anyone's benefit but HMRC's. But that's another debate. 

 

Well mr officer promised me a big fine once. Ended up being 500 quid excluding court costs. In reality its according to your earnings up to a capped amount £2500 etc. Then again it could possibly exceed that under extreme circumstances....tax plus ni plus council tax plus road tax plus vat....not 20-45% anymore...
