Fines For Cyclists Who Flout Traffic Rules Doubled To $150

Transport Ministry accepts recommendations made by panel, including not requiring licences for cyclists
Cyclists caught flouting traffic rules will have to pay a $150 fine from Jan 1 next year, up from $75 now.
The composition fine will apply to those who break existing rules while on the road, including not stopping at red lights and cycling on expressways.
It will also apply under a new rule that caps the size of cycling groups at five cyclists in a single file or 10 cyclists when riding abreast from Jan 1 next year.
The Ministry of Transport (MOT) announced the increased fine yesterday, after it accepted all the recommendations made by the Active Mobility Advisory Panel on measures to improve road safety.
In its report submitted to MOT on Oct 1, the panel said capping cycling groups to a maximum length of five bicycles will ensure the space that they occupy on the roads is similar to that of a bus.
