YOU reported that City of York Council is looking at ways of implementing a "damaged grass verge" policy towards motorists (August 29). I suggest they first implement a "total disregard for the law" policy towards cyclists who often become, or already are, motorists as well.
As these two-wheeled bandits get away with breaking the law so easily and regularly in York it is no surprise that when they graduate to four wheels they simply carry on mounting pavements and verges as they wish. When will the authorities try and deal with this problem by fining cyclists who ride on pavements?
