Brighton Cyclist 900 quid down

Wicked.

I have just seen part of one of those "cops in action" type of
programmes.

A cyclist in Brighton was seen riding with no lights one night.

The police were going to pull him up and make him walk home.

BUT - he rode through a red traffic light before they could stop him.

They shouted at him to stop - BUT he refused and buggered off on the
pavement !!

When stopped he swore at the two officers.

It did appear that he was ****ed - but they let that go.

He was fined £700 and ordered to pay £215 costs.

He was such an arrogant **** - he reminded me of so many of the
cyclists in URC.

Wicked !!

Only the one?

No really?

I simply can't believe that.

When stopped he swore at the two officers.

He has rights you know.

Difficult to tell I suppose.

Signs of intoxication are;
Argumentative, aggressive or belligerent, obnoxious or mean, making
inappropriate comments about others, crude behavior, foul language, making
irrational statements, bravado, boasting, difficulty remembering, rambling
train of thought, mussed hair, disheveled clothing.

Which is pretty much the average cyclist. Rather describes Mole******
actually.

He was fined £700 and ordered to pay £215 costs.

Quite right.

He was such an arrogant **** - he reminded me of so many of the
cyclists in URC.

Me too!

He also refused to give them his name, refused a fixed penalty ticket &
asked the cops if they had nothing better to do.

Typical arrogant psycholist.

This incident was reported in this newsgroup before, but I didn't know
it had been caught on camera. The cyclist was spotted by a Police
patrol car riding at night without lights or reflectors on his bike.
He then deliberately rode through a red traffic light and then onto
the pavement. The police pulled him over with some difficulty just to
suggest that it would be a good idea to wheel his light-less bike home
on foot, but being a typical 'You can't touch me because I am a
cyclist and above the law' psycholist, he argued that he hadn't done
anything wrong, despite the above offences all being caught on the
police car video camera, and also being under the influence of drink.
Eventually the Police had to issue him with fixed penalty notices and
had to threaten him with arrest because he wouldn't give them his name
and address. What a knob! I am pleased that the Court decided to make
an example of him and imposed a hefty fine. If he had been a motorist
I am sure that many penalty points and a long driving ban would have
also been imposed.

Could you tell us what the rest of the programme and the episode before
and before that were about? Only I'm wondering how they keep a whole
series of programmes going on the behaviour of cyclists and what they
fill in the rest of the time with.

Did anyone else spot that when they were dealing with the female driver with
the identity crisis (she started off as being called Precious, then it was
Primrose) who was driving a borrowed car on a provisional licence, that when
the police were dealing with her at the roadside, an unlit cyclist rode by
as they were filming? But otherwise, apart from the errant cyclist mentioned
above, the programme was about dangerous daft and illegal drivers.

Derek, I seemed to have missed your reply. Would you like to tell us
about motorcyclists doing wheelies and power sliding all over the dual
carriageway at speed or doing 150mph on a single carriageway road,
drivers driving unsupervised on provisional licenses and cars with no
lights? Of course that's all trivial compared to a cyclist riding
without lights isn't it?

According to the police commentary they were hassling the cyclist with
no lights because he was "a danger to himself" whereas the driver with
no lights was just warned "because in a modern car you are safer with
air bags to protect you". And as pointed out later, the cyclist crossed
the junction on a green light.

Rest assured that it would be easily possible to fill a series of such
programmes purely with cyclist incidents. Quite cheaply as well - almost any
major junction in C London could provide the material all on its own.

I'm sure that it would be at least as 'popular' as any similar programme. I
wonder who on earth watches whole series of them - they must be the most
archetypal schedule-fillers of all time.

Yes, what an arrogant ****.

I thought the police were remarkably retrained, although there were cameras
present. Personally I'd have arrested the ******* and allowed him the
pleasure of a night in the cells - AND - I'd have done him for being drunk
in charge of a push bike.
