Increase minimum fine for cyclists failing to stop at red lights to £5,000

What the petition asks
Too many cyclists run red lights every day at great risk to pedestrians. This is simply unacceptable. Cyclists do not pay vehicle tax like other road users, so should face serious financial penalties for breaking traffic rules by running red lights.
We believe that increasing the minimum fine for this offence would make it clear that cyclists must obey the law, and will face serious penalties for not doing so.
