You RLJ you get catched :(

Just a heads up, I got caught doing a rlj today and the copper infromed that this week thay are having a good old fine the cyclists week this week. I saw at least 12 other people getting fines too so it seems to be true. Regular rlj junctions such as High Holborn/Chancery Lane, Oxford circus, Ludgate Hill/Farringdon st/rd are going to be staked out all this week Be careful now.

Guess I won't be wearing my Tynan 'Old Bill are fucking jokes' t-shirt this week then :(

im tempted to wear mine and do it just to see what the coppers think of the t shirt

I reckon this one would have been ok, he told me 'Yeah I know you're going to carry on doing it but have a careful look before you do this week there's a big clampdown going on, ride safe now'

at least he wasn't a total cock and say "i dont wanna have to scrape you off the ground"

..with a fork, don't forget the fork

Do'you reckon they'll be fining peds walking through green lights/little red man? Get to fuck.....

Thats not illegal.

I think they should throw life size child dummies under the wheels of cyclists who run pedestrian crossings at speed whilst peds are trying to cross. That would shit the twats up and be more effective than a fine in making them think twice next time.

last copper to say this to me added: "what would your parents think"
I said: "I'm an orphan sir"
he said "whats you name"
I said "oliver sir"
conversation ends.

Thats awesome.

I think I saw a couple of police officer on a bike hiding behind an alleyway near Clapham North tube right near a crossing, I think they're waiting for offender jumping a crossing and chase them down proper 70's style.

FWIW... I saw at least three bicycle coppers by my office next to Barbican station today. They tend to hang out at the intersection there (Beech St/Long Ln and Goswell Rd/Aldersgate St). If you RLJ there, you'll get busted.

Cool...

Nah, I bet one was riding on the handlebars...

Thats awesome.

Balki,i thought you were saying nighty nights to everyone after my pun fail in the horse rage thread?

I'm seriously considering joining the force:-/

HA!

cycling past buckingham palace i jumped a red light - had looked both ways and there was no one in sight.

at the next junction a police car pulled up alongside me, "if you get hit after running a red light you don't have any defence, though we did see you look both ways."

me "i know and i appreciate your advice"

conversation continued up to the next set of lights, they were actually quite cool, and were clear that they had not pulled me over because I had looked properly and was not taking any real risk. we also chatted about dangers to cyclists and all agreed that bus lanes and cycle lanes are generally more of a hazard than benefit. we joked how the fine is so minimal that my interest is probably not avoiding a £30 fine but staying alive.

we both had a mutual respect, and had observed the situation and looked at the bigger implications me doing the rlj, them just having an informal natter with me.

my only regret was actually doing an rlj in sight of the old bill.

The medication must be kicking in then. You didn't call them cunts...

there's a big clampdown going on, ride safe now'

Tell him it's 'ride safely'

Tell him it's 'ride safely'

Na, I made my views on that matter quite clear in the appropriate thread :D

So I am just wondering when the big clampdown on motorists talking on their mobiles whilst driving is gonna happen? The fucking cunts! And relax......

Coppers will say that won't they.. coz then you post about it on here and everyone takes it that much easier.. police viral marketing.. I'm surprised they didn't ask you to send them the monies via Western Union. :)
