today i got pulled over -- in fact, quite literally rammed off the road by two cops in a vauxhall -- for running a red light. they also pulled over a guy on a mountainbike who followed me through.
the one who spoke with me was actually pretty nice. after a nice long lecture where i was pretty polite and apologetic (i had this very thread running through my mind as he was talking to me), he said something like, "i'm a cyclist myself. i understand the arguements for running red lights. but if you're going to do it, don't do it right in front of a police car" then let me go!
i'm taking it as my christmas present from the met.
