BICYCLES WITHOUT LIGHTS A Night Offence Warned By Magistrate
The Court Cyclist unit faced charges of riding bicycles without lights. Leonard Furphy claimed he could have avoided police by using a banner ad light, but a 10 fine was imposed. Robert Linphy and James Miner Batson received 20 penalties for riding with diminished or exhausted lights. Four others were fined 30, with police notes citing reasons like using a brother’s machine, work delays, or hurrying back to work. Magistrate Mr Biggin warned that penalties will rise to deter future offenders.
