• I'm lucky living out in the sticks and having ridden into London from High Barnet earlier this year it definitely reminded me of what I wasn't missing..lol
    However there are plenty of semen guzzlers this way too.
    In fact I'm seriously considering using the power of arrest the next time any driver assaults me with his/her vehicle and/or themselves.

    As per the law which says:

    "A breach of the peace is not in itself a criminal offence, but a police officer or any other person have a power of arrest where there are reasonable grounds for believing a breach of the peace is taking place or is imminent. For a breach of the peace to occour, there must be an act done or threatened which harms a person, or his property in his presence, or which puts a person in fear of such harm. Something which merely distresses or offends someone will not normally amount to a breach of the peace"

    Last time I stopped a bus for 10 minutes to explain to the twat behind the wheel that he'd tailgated/harassed me when physically not able to overtake, then forced an undertaking maneouvre to the stop not 50 metres from the top of my street.
    he told me he was calling the police, I said go ahead as I could then show the plod his on board video and the traffic laws he had just broken never mind his attempted assault.
    Gave me some bollocks about having being a driver in London which made me chortle...
    so next time I'll be going for the power of arrest line..wish me luck :o)

    I would love to know what happens if you attempt to citizen arrest a bus driver. I can't see that going badly at all.
