Another 'Critical Mass' of cars.
You see! Motorists do it too!
"Hey, while in London this evening, flashing blue lights drew my attention to about 20 cars with Palestinian flags stuck on their windows driving along the embankments tooting horns. Police went a bit mental - can i just say to people stopped, you only have to tell cops name, address, date of birth, after that NO COMMENT, i repeat NO COMMENT. Nice one for getting this demo together." http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2009/01/417481.html -- Critical Mass London http://www.criticalmasslondon.org.uk "More bikes, fewer cars!". |

Tony Dragon gurgled happily, sounding much
like they were saying: You see! Motorists do it too! "Hey, while in London this evening, flashing blue lights drew my attention to about 20 cars with Palestinian flags stuck on their windows driving along the embankments tooting horns. Yes but was it organized? Was it a demonstration? Was it a procession? Was it anything to do with this NG? Was it deliberately obstructing as many other road users as possible? I wonder how many of the demonstrators stopped their cars in the middle of busy junctions, got out, and waved the cars above their heads? Still, it's good to know that 20 protestors is now regarded as a "critical mass"... |

The driver of a motor vehicle can also be required to produce or display a current certificate of insurance, a driving licence, a vehicle registration document, a road tax disc and a vehicle test certificate (where appropriate). Failing to display or, as the case may be, to produce, any of these when required is an offence. Additionally, the driver may be questioned about his demeanour on the road and about the origin and destination points of his journey. He may also be required to listen to advice about his driving and behaviour. He may not leave the scene until authorised to do so by the police officer concerned. Passengers in the vehicle may also be required to identify themselves and their presence in the vehicle explained. |
