Parking in cycle lanes to be targetted

Options
Fines of £70 (£130 in London) are to be introduced for cars parking in bike lanes. Councils will be allowed to use CCTV to monitor this and potentially even cyclist head cam footage could be used to prosecute

Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness: 

People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

    Good! But I assumed that parking in bus lanes has always been an offence?

    Driving in one is yes, they can have a camera filming the plates and grab people and then fine them.
