8 per cent of cyclists didn't break the law

Just a subjective, I have had to spend a couple of hours driving today, I
saw 2 dozen cyclists, 22 of them were breaking the rules of the road, one of
the 2 that were not was a policeman, the other just a sensible middle aged
chap.

Riding on the pavement was the most frequent, riding the wrong way in the
gutter of a dual carriageway was possibly the most dangerous, failing to
give way accounted for a couple, texting with both hands while riding in the
(narrow, twisty) road was possibly the most stupid, the one that I nearly
managed to send to the next world was jumping a red light, wrong way in a
one way accounted for two.

I have actually considered joining the Police so that I can start a one man
crusade against this epidemic of cycling lawlessness.

From Metropolitan Police health requirements for Special Constables:-
"Special Constables encounter stressful situations, trauma, physical
confrontation and work long hours on shifts. They need to be resilient
enough to cope with the demands and pressures of police work.
Applicants must therefore be in good health mentally and physically to
undertake police duties."

"in good health mentally"

Still, well done you!

A friend of mine is a police officer and he says that he and other officers are
now getting really ****ed off with the attitude of cyclists.

I showed him the video of the ****wit with the camera on his head who jumped
the red light and then argued with the police officer.

He was fuming - took the url and said he was going to make sure that it
received wide circulation - not just in his area - but throughout the force !!

He thought that there could be a few "repercussions" !!

Sounds like a result to me - (or perhaps even a whole string of them !!)

She writes to the Queen too, in green ink and capitals. That'll sort

Perhaps PC Stout will receive some training on how to handle bolshy
members of the public.
