Well that was an interesting one.
Approaching a red light near Lewisham police station and the lights change. A car stops and I filter through to the front into the ASL. The car then starts rolling into the ASL approaching my back wheel. I turn point and say “not for you”. I’m waiting for the light to change and I hear some chatter from the woman behind the wheel saying something a bit aggro so I turned around and she’s obviously not happy. I may at this point have sworn. She then pulls out what I think is police ID and flashes it telling me not to swear at her and I tell her not to roll into the ASL. Nothing else happened and when the lights changed I rolled away very slowly in primary. A bit childish, but I was annoyed. Annoyed that the people supposed to be enforcing these things are causing the problems in the first place and can’t handle being called out.
