I love it. A few cyclists incensed at being fined for the same
traffic code breaches as motorists.

Being fined shows that there's equal treatment of road users,
regardless of the means of motivation. They should be *pleased*.

If it becomes widely known, then more motorists might start to
respect cyclists on the road instead of thinking of them as
self-righteous, blithering idiots.
