Traffic Laws
So David Cameron has been caught breaking traffic laws whilst cycling to Parliament. Again.
But really, so what? Can any of us claim that we have never ever broken a traffic law in our life? Can any motorist claim to have never driven over the speed limit? Can any cyclist claim to have never edged over the line at a red light? Can any pedestrian claim to have never crossed the road when the green man wasn’t showing? No. And anyone who claims so is blatantly lying.
There are far more important issues than Cameron breaking a few minor road traffic laws, things we have all done in one way or another. Quite why or how this can be considered above the early release of even more criminals or the issues of embryonic fertilisation, I don’t know.

this Charming Man is persistent if nothing else!
Looking at your questions ‘Can any…?’ it turns out that I can! I once mistook a traffic policeman’s signals (near Tower Bridge) when on my trusty bicycle back in the late ’60s, but that’s about the worst error I ever made. I have certainly never ridden on the footpath, ignored traffic signals, and tried hard to obey all the rules of the highway.
I have never driven in my life, though, so have no idea how I’d behave if I ever had done.
I don’t believe you, John! Everybody has, whether they realise it or not.
