More proof cyclists are above the law

bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-be … s-24518094

Escorted but no further action taken, Would’nt be the case if a motorist had driven down hard shoulder.

No lights and ■■■■■■ down with rain, probably after one of those Darwin awards :open_mouth:

I’m waiting for this cyclists youtube video pointing out how all the other vehicles where driving far too fast and splashing him whilst shouting out their registration numbers.

That said i think the police where a bit harsh calling him a ‘dummy’, as he may just not have been aware of the highway code which puts him in the same bracket as a lot of cyclists with no experience of driving other vehicles.

I think they should’ve used “mentally retarded” to describe him.

He was a dummy (if not an unaware foreigner; still, no excuse) as any normal 4 year old wouldn’t take their bike down the motorway… OK it would be harder for a tot to do it but they should know it’s wrong or might be able to guess something wasn’t right. Plus the police correctly called him a dummy in the safe knowledge they won’t be sued for libel (they didn’t actually identify him so they could deny it was him they were referring to anyway).

I once experienced a cyclist riding in front on the hard shoulder, while it was a running lane, on the M6!
