Not Being Stopped By the Met Police Safer Traffic Operation

[spen666]

So for the last 2 weeks the Met Police has been running its Safer Traffic scheme on CS2 (1this week elsewhere in London).

I cycle the length of CS2 and more on my commute and everyday pass numerous police patrols and see them stopping lots of people, cyclists and motorists.

Now as I see it, there are 2 possible explanations forthis;


1. My cycling skills and my kit are beyond reproach

2. The Met Police hate me and do not care about my safety and are hoping I come to harm


I'd have a poll on here, but I know what you think

You are going to quick for them...

Option 3 - Your Ninja skills are so good that they don't notice you.

 

[Markymark]

4. You can't see them waving their arms for you to stop as you have no lights on.

 

[Davidc]

They just haven't noticed you yet.

It's because you ride at night on a black bike with no shiny bits, no lights, and wear head to toe matt back clothing. Oh, and your keeping entirely to the pavements helps too.

5. You're too busy to notice them asking you to pull over as you're updating your facebook page.

6. You're too hipster to be pulled over by the fuzz. You accelerate off, bunny-hop over the deployed stinger and burst through a warehouse to avoid the chopper tracking you.

It doesn't say much for the observation skills of the Met

Not me!

Can you go too slow to be noticed?

Have you been spying on me?

 

[Koga]

Not me!

It looks like it !

7. The headphones and your music's so loud you can't hear them yelling at you to stop.

8. In MET police uniform?

9. You ride naked. Pulling you over would be just too much trouble.

I was hoping they would pull me over as well. Not had a peep out of them.
This time of year I wear all black, no hi-viz for me.
