Driving into the centre of Dandenong on Friday I had already noticed a police motorbike was behind me as I pulled up to a red light. I'm at the front, motorbike behind. On the other side are a few cars and a lady on a bike who looked both ways then went through the red light in full view of the policeman - who she should have been able to spot. It was 8:30 so it was getting dark - requiring lights, which she didn't have - and she wasn't wearing a helmet either. Upon seeing this the policeman felt he had no other alternative but to turn around and pull her over, where no doubt she would have received 3 infringements.
Let's say she had the helmet and no lights and didn't run a red, chances are she'd never been pulled over or pulled over and given a warning. 3 infringements at once and they aren't going to let you off with a warning. And no, I don't subscribe to the "get all cyclists off the roads" way of thinking.

Well I once saw a cop pull up at a Maccas car park, go inside and order some food. I was like what the hell?
