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 !! |

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. No really? They shouted at him to stop - BUT he refused and buggered off on the pavement !! I simply can't believe that. When stopped he swore at the two officers. He has rights you know. It did appear that he was ****ed - but they let that go. 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! -- Dave - intelligent enough to realise that a push bike, like a skateboard, is a kid's toy, not a viable form of transport. |

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

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. Derek C |

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. John. |

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. Tony |

What's the drink-ride limit for a bike then? or is it just the plods personal diagnosis and interpretation of 'unfit'. Surely ignoring traffic lights , riding on pavement etc, doesn't mean 'drunk', as most cyclists do it , ( sorry "idiots on bikes") , all of the time. Now, if he had collided with the the traffic lights ..........!! |

Talking of arrogant ****s In an episode a few years ago a copper pulled over a motorbike for not having lights. The rider explained this was quite legal if the bike wasn't used at night. The copper refused to beleive this and refused to let him continue for several hours. By which time it was dark. When the copper found out it was actually the motorcyclist who was in the right his response was "I was correct, its the law thats wrong" |

Does it still show footage of coppers pulling over teenagers for very minor offences and deliberately treating them like crap in the hope they'll start answering back ? |
