Comment on Why cyclists should NOT get the same fines as motorists | Car Culture 6 - Motonormativity

while they refuse to enforce laws like the minimum passing distance for cyclists even when they’re literally handed the evidence needed.

It’s not enough to show video footage of a car passing a cyclist. The cops need to know who was driving the car.

Police speed/red light/mobile phone/etc infringement notices are only issued if they have an accurate photo of the driver’s face (or, if they pull over the vehicle immediately and identify the driver).

Police have the power to require the owner of the car nominate who was driving at a given time. They just refuse to use it.

They refuse to prosecute even when evidence of the driver is available (for example, when you catch up to them later and clearly show their face).
