Don't know if anyone recalls my encounter with a police car in the segregated filter lane at the north end of Southwark Bridge early last month - but I did submit a complaint to the City of London police which has now been resolved.
The investigation concluded that the car shouldn't have been where it was, but the lane in question didn't come into effect until the next day - so there's no breach of the law. I do, however, have a nice letter of apology on behalf of the force.
In her report, the officer (who shall remain nameless, I'm not on a mission of vengeance here) said that the cyclist she spoke to 'wasn't very polite'.
'Please officer, if you would be so kind, I do humbly request that you refrain from using the segregated cycling facilities in your motor vehicle.'
I'll try that next time...
