Cyclingsilk gives some worrying anecdotes about cyclists' experience with Plod.

Whilst I'm sure some coppers don't care, I'm equally sure some do (a close relative is a retired cycling copper) - the sad thing is the result is the same: the Law is not protecting cyclists from bad drivers.
After this morning's run-in I wondered whether I should stop cycling into work for a while.
I really don't want to get badly injured or have a road-rage fight - I just want to get to work.
Who's protecting us? Not the police. Not the courts.
