A 22-year-old man has been charged $750 for not wearing a bicycle helmet.

The man from Clontarf was riding his bicycle in Scarborough on the Redcliffe Peninsula earlier this year.

The $750 fine is almost seven times the usual $110 fine.

The Magistrate in the Redcliffe Magistrates Court took into consideration the man’s 19 previous tickets when imposing the fine.
