Special cycling jacket

On my cycle home this evening along the Edgware Road at the Marble Arch end
I noticed a car in front which didn't want to overtake two cyclists in the
left hand lane. The two were in single file and moving along about 13-15mph.

Now this is not normally an area where car drivers are known for their
consideration to cyclists, and they usually get quite close to you. This car
didn't want to pass them.

The only things different I could spot about our two lucky cyclists were
their blue and yellow framed bikes (not readily obvious to the driver) and
their special yellow jackets which seem to prevent cars from overtaking 1
inch from their handlebars.

Wonder if the blue panel on the back stating METROPOLITAN POLICE had
anything to do with it?

Bob.

Nah. Every cyclist knows that all motorists treat all cyclists with the utmost
courtesy and respect.

Must go, matron says it's time for my medications...

A friend of mine used to have a Moto Guzzi motorcycle that looked like a
police issue. It had an bright orange bodywork that said:
small font Be
large font POLITE
small font in traffic

If you know that the dutch word for Police is "Politie" (mind the second
"i"), you won't be surprised to learn he got stopped by the real thing
more than once but alway got away with it ;-)

Greetings,

Niton, quite rightly, only deliver kit with police insignia to police
station addresses, and with proof of status. Nice thought though.

I don't want "POLICE" anyway. "POLITE" was not a typo!
