The police stopped me yesterday. I ran a red light, straight past them, albeit slowly and safely. I simply didn't see them, as my mind was elsewhere, otherwise I'd have stopped. I wasn't cycling dangerously, but what I did was wrong, and blatant. They raised the £30 fine issue, asked me if I had any excuse, and I had no option other than to say 'no'. That seemed to satisfy them, so they shelved the fine and gave me a lecture. They took my details, checked me out, and that was that. Cops are people - some are sound, others aren't.
