I was stopped by the Police

[Randi]

... 2-3 weeks ago, and I got a ticket. DKR. 500,- (about $85)
Then today, I got the bill, along with a letter telling me that if my income was below a certain amount, I could have it reduced to DKR. 300,-. Well, my income last year WAS below the amount, so I'm sending a copy of my taxpapers as asked. I'm glad that I can have it reduced, but I think I'd rather earn more.

Oh btw, all I was doing was going around a right corner on red light on my bike ... there was no traffic coming from the left!! The Police sat there behind the bushes by the lake. They stopped everybody who did the slightest thing wrong. It must have been quite an income in the tax box that day!!

Did they stop you on the bike? It looks as if tickets are rather high in Denmark- 85$ sounds like a serious crime

[Randi]

Yes, I was on my bike Barbara (and it was raining too! ).

That is also what a person speeding in a car gets - OK, the lowest fine, but still ... I would have thought they had more important things to do!!

[Killearn Kitties]

Just how fast were you pedalling, Randi, if you managed to get the equivalent of a speeding fine???

[Randi]

KK! As it was raining I did have my Ferrari cap on, that's probably why - the policeman simply wanted to see it properly.

A ticket for right turn on red while riding a bicycle......WOW!!!!!!!!!

I'm sorry Randi, but I had to giggle.

I hope you get the fine reduced.

Just the opposite was happening here in Detroit. At the Woodward Cruise (a very large classic car show), police on bicycles were pulling over cars!!

Randi,
I don't mean to make light of your situation, but, I can't help myself! Pulled over on a BIKE? Have you been contacted by Lance Armstrong yet? I am thinking some Tour De (insert your preferred locale here) team could use you.

Next time, put the kick stand down on his toe.

Wow - that sure is a steep fine for a bicycle ride!

I hate it that these sleezy police hide to catch you.

I hope that you can have your fine reduced. That is a lot of money for something so minor!
