The Met beefs up its Cycle Task Force

Oh hippy.. you fell for my trap setup & written in the finest of legal-ease.

"In this photograph, the taxi has driven beyond the first stop line and into the advanced stop box reserved for use by cyclists, and is breaking the law (unless the vehicle was so close to the first stop line when the lights changed that it would have been unsafe to stop)."

Please explain.
