Speed limits again

On the telly last night was a repeat of 'Police, Camera, Action'
with Mr Stewart saying that cyclists can be stopped for speeding
but that the one shown was alright as he only reached 29mph.

So I guess it must be true - speed limits do apply to cyclists.

No good deed ever goes unpunished.

No just shows that we can be stopped. I take it nothing was said about
prosecuting/fines/points etc?

Of course this does not apply to royal parks where we can be stopped
for speeding.

Never assume Mr Stewart is a legal eagle.

This is what is known in technical legal speak as "complete ********".

Well, getting a legal opinion from Alistair Stewart is like getting a
legal opinion from a convicted drink driver. ;-)

He presents the TV programme "Police, Camera ..." and tries to portray a
'nice fella, good driver' kind of image. Trouble is, he was caught driving
whilst under the influence. IIRC he was significantly over the limit as
well, not just 'possibly a glass of wine at lunch officer'.
