"so essentially if you have driving licence regardless of you mode of transport you may fined and points!"
That's not how I read it Mark. Sure, they can both be fined etc. but only when driving a vehicle appropriate to you your license can points be added to your DRIVING license surely.

I stand corrected on the endorsements, points side of it

definitely a FPN - i think its now £50 maximum (November 2017) for cycling offences, but stand to be corrected.

Section 36, Road Traffic Act 1988
On date at place, whilst propelling a pedal cycle failed to comply with the indication given by a road traffic sign, to which Sect 36 RTA 1988 applied, namely...

in the case of the question 'a red light trafffic sign'... (many others apply)

lawfully placed on or near a road, namely ... road & location.

The cyclist if not issued a FPN can also be reported often referred to as NIP (Notice of Intended Prosecution) and then will be summonsed to court where can be fined upto £1000.

admars says....i see a few people cycling on the pavement, this morning funnily enough there was a guy cycling on the pavement, even though the road has a nicely painted cycling lane!
I do not blame them going on the pavement if there is one, as there is genuine fear of your life being on a bike in a busy or narrow road.

On my bike I got scuffed once on the elbow with a moving range rover's door mirror in a country lane going by at 40 MPH, and it was a very narrow escape. He was far too close and was like, hey I'm in a range rover, am coming through.
