Saw fuzz telling a taxi driver off at the junction by Wellington Arch this morning which put a massive smile on my face.

What did the police want to stop you for?
Probably for the same reason they stopped me last week.
To advise me to wear a helmet and hi-viz.

[QUOTE 2789311, member: 1314"]Copper shouted at a cyclist to stop who with no lights who jumped the reds at Stockwell last night. Cyclist ignored him and just zoomed through and turned left towards Brixton. At this moment the whole crossing was blocked – again – with buses, vans and cars so that cyclists had to weave-in-and-out-to get to the next set of reds right by the tube.[/quote]
Is it a box junction?

my colleague mentioned the same, apparently he was blocking two lanes of road right in front of them.

[QUOTE 2789709, member: 1314"]No, I take your point but... vehicles will jump the reds and push through, knowing there's no exit point and they'll be blocking traffic on the other greens.[/quote]
Ok, it's just standard pluggery then. Get in there first, plug up that gap, and don't let anybody in.

I saw better one last night, cycling through Knightsbridge passed a fairly slow and nervous cycle plod in a yellow hi viz uniform. A few seconds later I heard that mad tooting that can only signify a driver is taking exception to the existence of a cyclist. You know,not a quick warning toot, or a long angry blast but a series of bleats of maddeningly varying volume and length.
There was only one car that could have done this, and only one cyclist it could have been directed at - the policeman. Sure enough, the policemen caught up with him two lights later, and began giving him a telling-off.
Should cycle police have lights or a siren? He caught up at the first lights, too, but couldn't make himself known before the lights changed and the car drove off.

It is a shame the accompanying picture shows the policeman interviewing a cyclist and not a car or an HGV driver.
This confirms the belief that the cyclists are to blame.
