Cyclists really should be tested on their knowledge of the highway code
I can understand some one that is not too with it taking a motorway slip in
an absent minded moment, but why continue on? http://www.examiner.co.uk/news/local...6081-28474904/ |

Scraping the barrel today, Cheerless? 2/3 of the story was about the chaos drivers were causing on the M62 - the cyclist came and went without incident. "Drivers also faced hold-ups on the motorway’s eastbound carriageway late yesterday, after an accident involving a lorry and a car. The vehicles blocked the nearside lane approaching the slip road at Junction 26 (Chain Bar) but no-one was hurt. Traffic queues built up for several miles before the vehicles were removed. It was the second day in a row that a serious accident brought M62 chaos. On Tuesday, four fire crews were called to deal with a five-vehicle pile-up which left one driver badly hurt." -- Simon Mason |

They became more frequent when the stretch from Haydock to Stafford opened in 1963. |

Did he cause any problems? Apart from wasting police time (a problem he will certainly have caused), I don't know. But it is likely that the utility of the road was reduced in the vicinity, especially with traffic having to change lane to avoid him. The only adequate practical punishment for such a blatant is on-the-spot confiscation and immediate destruction of the bicycle, preferably in view of the offender. Then let him walk home. |
