This morning's commute and other commuting stories

I didn't... that was the problem. Not a RLJ on this occasion, but overtook a flat bed lorry on the outside, and as the lorry was driving at around 10mph over a zebra crossing (no peds around and oncoming lane empty) I chose to finish the overtake in the oncoming lane as it was clear.

The police caught up at the next traffic light where I had stopped, and gave me the "What would happen if you were a pedestrian crossing at that time?" which is a ridiculous question as the flat bed would've stopped as would have I - this apparently is not the desired answer.

Pedantically he was correct, I was riding on the wrong side of the road over a ped crossing. But it was just an overtake as the truck was in traffic going slow and I wasn't going to ride on the inside of it.

No ticket, but only because where he'd caught up to me was at traffic lights where I was in the middle of the lane and the lights went green which meant he was now holding up traffic.
