"Police forced to" make up laws against cyclists
I thought that this:-
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.../npolice15.xml "Police 'forced to target trivial offences" Goes nicely opposite:- "Motorists forced to cross double white lines to overtake cyclists." Lack of integrity outstanding all round I say. |

The story does not particularly refer to motorists or cyclists as in your post, but talks of a wider problem with the police/law. It is fascinating the sh!t that is churning right before us.. |

Sheesh...the paranoid conspiracy theorists read too much into the news.... |

HC rule 141: You MUST NOT overtake * if you would have to cross or straddle double white lines with a solid line nearest to you (but see Rule 108) HC rule 108: Double white lines where the line nearest you is solid. This means you MUST NOT cross or straddle it unless it is safe and you need to enter adjoining premises or a side road. You may cross the line if necessary to pass a stationary vehicle, or overtake a pedal cycle, horse or road maintenance vehicle, if they are travelling at 10mph or less. -- Danny Colyer URL:http://www.colyer.plus.com/danny/ Reply address is valid, but that on my website is checked more often "Daddy, put that down. Daddy, put that down. Daddy, put that down. Daddy, why did you put that down?" - Charlie Colyer, age 2 |

There are many roads with a double white line and that have plenty of width to allow safe overtaking. Sometimes the double white lines are not central, but divide the road one-third two-thirds, to allow overtaking up-hill, but not down-hill, and such like. -- Matt B |
