But, if we accept that the majority of offences committed by cyclists
are, though illegal, mostly trivial in nature, then by inference we
are accepting a distinction between serious and trivial offences. And,
once that distinction has been made, there's no reason not to apply it
back to motorists and accept that they, too, can commit offences which
are, though illegal, mostly trivial in nature. So the 13.5 million
motoring offences in the title of this thread is misleading, because
it includes a vast number of offences in which the offender poses
absolutely no danger at all to anyone else.

Should people be prosecuted for commiting offences where others are merely
inconvenienced rather than hurt physically?
