Cyclists who break rules of road will have the option of watching a 47 second video or receiving a £50 fixed penalty notice

How is anyone supposed to take the rules in the UK seriously when you give them such silly names?

It's from rugby, comparable to the "penalty box" in hockey. It's a bit cheesy, but no more than calling something a "homerun" or a "hail Mary pass".

Must not be that serious of an offense if it can be rectified with a 47 second wait. So they are just harassing cyclists then?

Fair enough

Or it is serious enough, that all that's needed is people being forced to slow down, an not being worth it at all to blow the red light.

Don't blow red lights an don't get harassed sounds rather fair...

It might work, but it's still funny to think law enforcement now come with free tier with ads for everyone. I wonder if they also include an eye tracker so when you not looking at the video it pause.
