A lorry driver has become one of the first people to be prosecuted
for driving too close to cyclists after being caught by a
plain-clothed police biker.

Officers posed as cyclists in Birmingham and the black country to
try and catch drivers putting bikers lives at risk.

The 60-year-old driver was taken to court and ordered to pay £1,038
in fines and costs. He was also given five points on his licence
for the manoeuvre in Park Lane West, Tipton, last November after
being found court at Birmingham Magistrates' Court.

He was among the first motorists in the country to be taken to court
after the operation to protect cyclists from 'close passes'.

Why don't the Police 'pose' as pedestrians to catch cyclists riding
on pavements?

Better yet, why aren't they focussing on violent offence and thefts?

It's too difficult for them. A traffic officer who'd stopped me for
a routine safety check actually said to me, "I'm not qualified to
solve real crimes".

Yeah, like **** he did. This would be the time that you got done for
defective exhaust. This because you could not afford to have it fixed. Get a
job ya little ******.
Why must you always tell lies? You little piece of ****
