Default David Cameron caught breaking traffic laws on bicycle

http://www.inthenews.co.uk/news/politics/david-cameron-caught-breaking-traffic-laws-on-bicycle-$1214532.htm

Conservative leader David Cameron has said "sorry" for breaking red
lights and cycling the wrong way up a one way street.

The Daily Mirror followed the politician as he cycled to work from his
home in Notting Hill.

Mr Cameron said: "I know it is important to obey traffic laws - but I
have obviously made mistakes on this occasion and I am sorry."

The newspaper caught Mr Cameron cycling the wrong way up a one-way
street in Dawson Place, crossing the white line at a red light and
driving the wrong way around a bollard in the Mall.

The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents said it set a bad example.
Since becoming the opposition leader two years ago, Mr Cameron has tried
to emphasise his party's – and his own – green credentials. He cycles to
work most Wednesdays.

But just months after becoming Conservative leader, it was revealed he
had cycled in followed by a chauffeur-driven car, which was carrying his
briefcase, shoes and documents.End of story
