Do you think that this driver deserved his fine or not?

People were divided over a hefty £417 fine issued by police to a driver for driving too close to cyclists, and we want to know if you think that the driver got what he deserved or if you think he was treated harshly.

Police in Sheffield cited the driver being too close to the cyclist and driving too quickly as reasons for the fine, and said: "If anyone thinks this is an acceptable manner of driving, let this be your warning." They added that the driver had chosen to accelerate and endanger the bikers.

According to a report from the government in September 2021, on average two cyclists died per week and 83 were seriously injured in reported road casualties between 2015 and 2020.
