Was 'told off' by two PCSOs this morning at junction of Chelsea Bridge and Chelsea Embankment (headed towards the centre of London) for using the ASB - I was on a bicycle.
They told me that as there wasn't a picture of a bicycle in the box I should use the rear stop line and not the advanced one. I was a little bit confused (but could see what they were saying) and told them I thought what they were saying was ridiculous etc. and they werre hgod natured about it. They weren't trying to fine me - that'll be tomorow I suspect but I would think they are on shaky ground if they tried. Is this legit?
Given I was filtering slowy up the LHS of stationary traffic I coulsn't see there wasn't a picture of a cycle.
They were there to hand out leaflets saying cars shouldn't use the ASB. They were, of course, handing them to cyclists...
