Lords ChamberMy Lords, like all road users, cyclists are required to comply with road traffic laws in the interests of the safety of other road users. This is also reflected in the Highway Code. Dangerous cycling is completely unacceptable, and that is why there are already strict laws in place for cyclists who break the law. The police have the power to prosecute if these are broken.
My Lords, can the Minister say how many cyclists were prosecuted last year? My own background tells me that very few are.
