Whilst going round a signal controlled roundabout I spot a cyclist approaching from my left. Headphone wearing Cyclist blantantly goes through 2 Red lights and cuts in front of me and rides in the middle of the exit that I take. I prefectly legally sound my horn to make said Cyclist aware of my prensence to which I get "The Finger" . 20 Yards later I am pulled over by 2 Coppers at the side of the road.
Wind down window to be greeted by sarky comment of "you do know excessive use of the horn is a offence" to which I reply "its perfectly acceptable to use your horn to make other road users aware of my presence" - Copper then replies even more sarcastically "I'll be the judge of that" So then I lose it and tell him to p£ss off and go and nick the cyclist. Over comes the other copper and ordered out my van. They spend 10 minutes on the blower and checking out the van. Coppers then say I can go and give me a warning for being abusive to which I just laugh at, another 10 minutes of my life wasted !
But anyway said roundabout has had 2 fatal crashes involving cyclists in the past year and it would seem that the coppers have been ordered to stand on the roundabout for some obscure PR reason but obviously not to deal with the real problem (the cyclists)
He ho
