GB News National Reporter Will Godley has confronted cyclists in central London amid plans to impose tougher fines for rule offenders.

Taking to the streets of the capital, Will was met with mixed reaction as he approached cyclists both running red lights and riding on the pavement.

The City of London Police is set to impose tougher penalties for repeat traffic offences instead of the current £50 Fixed Penalty Notices currently allowed.

The move is one of several being looked at by the police to address the increase in "dangerous, antisocial, and nuisance cycling behaviours".

GB News National Reporter Will Godley confronted cyclists who were running red lights, with one cyclist telling him it was 'none of his business'

Spotting a cyclist fast approaching a red traffic light, Will asked the man: "Are you going to stop at the red light sir?"

The man hit the brakes on his bike before hitting back: "What does it look like to you?"

Questioning the cyclist again on whether he was going to wait at the red light, the man told Will: "It's none of your business!"

The traffic light then turned green and the cyclist rode away.

Londoners told GB News that they backed harsher penalties for cyclists

Confronting a second cyclist at a red light, Will asked the man if he was planning to stop at the junction, telling him of the plans by police to impose tougher sanctions.

Quickly braking and stopping for Will, the cyclist admitted it was a "good thing", before apologising to Will for not stopping.

He said: "I'm sorry about that, I was turning left."

Will also attempted to speak to a cyclist riding on the pavement, who ignored the GB News reporter when told of the newly planned sanctions.

Asking pedestrians for their verdict on the proposals, Londoners told Will that they supported the move as some cyclists are "dangerous" when travelling through the city.

One man told GB News: "You've got to abide by the traffic laws and stop because it's dangerous. I think it's a good thing and it makes the road safer.

"I think it's got worse in London, especially with the Lime bikes. You've got so many pedestrians walking across and I see it all day long, people are hitting pedestrians at crossings, it's a big problem in London."

Another pedestrian also backed the crackdown: "Yeah, people should be fined. It's a mess, people on the pavement and jumping lights. The electric bicycle is quite speedy as well."
