PW Lee in another newsgroup (and referring to a driver who had been

He's clearly guilty of both.

How about High Treason as well?

I'd be all for that being done routinely and significant penalties being


dealt out to offenders.




Anyone care to hazard a submission on what class of vehicular traffic


most often ignores one-way working?




It's not the traffic that ignored one-way working, it is the vehicle


operator.




Quite so.




And in/on what sort of vehicle does the operator most frequently ignore


one-way working, plus red traffic lights, pedestrian-only status of a


facility, etc?




In this case:

It appears that the BMW driver was so shocked that a law abiding

cyclist told him that he was going the wrong way down a one way

street, that he collided with the cyclist before ploughing into

several pedestrians, a brick wall and a London bus.



The comments section of the report says it all.


Imagine how shocked MrNugent would be if a law-abiding cyclist told him to abandon his wrong ways and follow the path of virtue. Buses, pedestrians and brick walls would all have to flee!
