Drivers have been brazenly flouting a traffic ban at Bank junction which
was brought in to improve safety for cyclists and pedestrians.

The new rules, brought in after the death of a cyclist at the
notoriously busy interchange, were enforced from 7am today. All vehicles
apart from cyclists and buses are banned from using it before 7pm.

But footage taken during the busy morning commute shows drivers
blatantly disregarding the new regulations and driving through.

This story and the video are obviously fake.
Only cyclists break the law.

Since there are more drivers than cyclists using that junction, why ban the majority?


Can you provide proof of this?


Just go and stand on any pavement and watch.


We are talking about one particular junction which cars cannot legally use.
Since only cyclists break the law this means there are no cars using that junction.


Does democracy mean anything to you?


Democracy is 2 wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner.


If you think that a minority can be correct while the majority is wrong then you're an idiot. Why should that minority be able to say they are the correct ones?


Is it OK if the majority vote to exterminate all left handed redheads?


Ban the cyclists, same outcome, no squished cyclists, but more people can continue to use the junction.


Most car crashes are caused by men, lets make 'Driving whilst male' an offence.


Actually they're not. Women cause more crashes, men cause bigger crashes.


Evidence?


Anyway my point is, cyclists are a minority, it wouldn't affect society much to ban them from a junction. Banning a large number of car drivers does though.


No car drivers use the junction in question because they never break the law.


Speed and red light cameras are a waste of money because they never catch any number plated vehicles.

I've got them all listed on my satnav so I can flout the stupid law.


Typical spongeing freeloader doelscum motorist.


Try to make less than 2 spelling errors per sentence. Typical illiterate psycholist wannabe tour de france rider in kinky underwear and a learner's helmet.

And what does sponging have to do with breaking petty traffic laws?
