Tickets for Bicycle Riders? The Question: Can Police Officers give tickets to bike riders for traffic violations? The Answer: Yes. Bicycle riders are required by state law to obey all traffic laws and they can be cited for traffic violations. Bicycle Riders can also be cited/arrested for DWI (Driving While Impaired); nearly 40% of bicycle fatalities are caused by the bicyclist being impaired.   questions@askacop.org Questions sent to askacop.org will not be answered by email.
