Well, why don't car drivers start 100% compliance first, then you may
collectively have a right to whinge about cyclists non-compliance..
Oh, wait, the Government is so sure that car drivers can't obey the
road rules that it is banking on the revenue to run the state.. I
guess car drivers are an awful long way off 100% compliance..

those of us that do comply have the right to complain about *anyone* that
doesn't... car drivers and cyclists alike.
FFS, running red lights, failing to give way to pedestrians are serious
offences. I see these things done every day by many cyclists as a matter of
course. i don't often see drivers do them.....

and what do you suppose contributes primarily to this revenue? parking and
speeding fines? technical breaches for the most part, little relevance to
danger of the offence.
