I take it to have the same meaning that a motorist MUST use his/her vehicle lights at night just as his/her vehicle MUST be insured, etc. If I am correct in my assumptions, then the police MUST prosecute/fine cyclists riding without lights just as they do motorists. That would go a long way to improving road safety. If what you are asking is whether it is a legal requirement for a bike on the road to display lit white and red lamps at night, the answer is “yes it is”. But, no, the police aren’t obliged to prosecute/fine anybody, car driver, lorry driver, cyclist etc for failing to show lights, they have the option to stop and warn people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would go a long way to improving road safety. In the Highway Code, MUST indicates a legal requirement. That does not create an obligation on the police to act; that will be a matter for a given police force to decide at its discretion, bearing in mind its limited resources. in short, if you want the police to act in such cases, you either have to decide that you are happy for them not to act in other cases of more serious crime or be prepared to pay for a significant increase in police funding through higher taxes. Despite this being the joke thread, this is not a joke. Sorry. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had sex with Fannie Green every week for the last month." The priest tells the sinner, "You are forgiven. Go out and say three Hail Mary's." Soon, another man enters the confessional. "Father, it has been two months since my last confession. I have had sex with Fannie Green twice a week for the last two months." This time the priest asks, "Who is this Fannie Green?" "A new woman in the neighbourhood," the sinner replies. "Very well," says the priest. "Go and say ten Hail Mary's." The next morning in church, the priest is preparing to deliver his sermon when a gorgeous, tall woman enters the church. All the men's eyes fall upon her as she slowly sashays up the aisle and sits down in front of the altar. Her dress is green and very short, with matching shiny emerald green shoes. The priest and altar boy gasp as the woman sits down with her legs slightly spread apart, Sharon Stone style. The priest turns to the altar boy and whispering asks, "Is that Fannie Green?" The altar boy replies, "No Father, I think it's just the reflection off her shoes"... Yay............a joke and good one too!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only by apprehending wrong-doers, but the possibility that a police officer could appear at any moment would put some people off. Prevention is always better than cure. An oft' used quote amongst various law enforcement units - "It's not the fear of the punishment that restricts those wishing to break the law, it's the fear of being caught." The less boots on the beat, the less chance that the police are likely to walk around the corner and the less the deterrent.....
