Default "Bicycle officer pursues 'careless' driver in Suffolk"

"A man who received two warnings about careless driving in a Suffolk
town has had his car seized after being pursued by a police officer on
a bicycle.

Pc Stefan Henriksen said the driver was "quite embarrassed" to be
pulled over by an officer on a push bike.

The driver was stopped in Stowupland Road, Stowmarket, on 24 April but
details have only just been released.

His car was seized because he had received two section 59 warnings
about his driving in less than 12 months..."

So only commit careless driving offences if going uphill into a
headwind. Then the bike cop won't be able to catch you!
