So, not at all then? The text doesn't really match the headline.

I had someone quoting this on one of my videos - "Police Scotland has said they often stop as many errant cyclists as drivers" I find that very hard to believe, and would be interested in the statistics for that...

there aren't as many cyclists as drivers so that is loose language.
I imagine the percentage of poor cyclists is the same as the percentage of poor drivers. We are all humans Or are we dancers? As The killers seem to think.
Polis saying they do this is fine as that is the Polis saying Get Tae to whoever it is that is calling for bad cyclists to be told they are very,very naughty
Would be good if Polis went a bit further and said - We stop the same percentage of cyclists as drivers BUT the cyclists have only really put themselves in any danger whereas drivers are a real and potent threat to themselves, other drivers, pedestrians, children, pets, grannies,cyclists, humans, dancers, street furniture, signage, house fronts et cetera et cetera et cetera

Definitely ‘tis the season
Polis Scotland be complete <rule 2>s In large part it appears
“Councillors favour rolling out Close Pass in Dundee – but when the issue was raised again by Councillor Mark Flynn this week, Ch Supt Todd said there were “other measures” police can use to improve cycle safety.
He said: “There aren’t drivers driving close enough to cause the cyclists to have an accident.
“Targeting (cyclists) will have more benefit than targeting drivers that aren’t causing any accidents – such as those running red lights. But it is being kept under review.”

Only in Dundee/Tayside, where the prevailing orthodoxy still appears to be very much "car is king". And then some.
