From bikeradar.com:
A Buckingham cyclist was fined £2,200 on Tuesday after being convicted of dangerous cycling in the town, an incident leading to the death of 17 year old Rhiannon Bennett, say BBC reports.
…
The charge of dangerous cycling is the most serious cycling-specific offence and carries a maximum fine of £2500 but no prison term can be imposed.
The definition is riding so that ‘it would be obvious to a competent and careful cyclist that riding in that way would be dangerous’.
Be sure to read the entire story. It is surely a shame any time a person is injured or killed on the roadways no matter who is ultimately at fault. Keep in mind that minor fines are commonplace as the penatly to motorists who kill cyclists and pedestrians due to their own negligence once the anti-bike crowd starts calling for our heads.
