you are caught with a bag of cocaine in your bag. Ignorance of the *facts* however can be a valid defence. Ignorance of the law is indeed no defence. Not exactly OSA stuff but given I've been clipped by a cyclist there, very welcome. Bus appeared and they were given a verbal warning. They both said they'd never heard of this only to be told that ignorance of the law is no defence. Officer says the cyclisti is only using the pavement because it was a more direct route.īoth of the offenders were then introduced to the Highways Act/ Highway Code. Cyclists don't like it because it goes round the outside of a large roundabout adding extra time. Officer pointed out the the clearly indicated cycle lane and the barrier that segregated the traffic and cyclists. The second officer stopped him and he claimed it was a "shared space" for bikes and pedestrians.

Whilst they're talking to him a commuter tries to cycle by again on the pavement. One was a Uber Eats/Deliveroo/Just Eat person, He said he had no idea that he wasn't allowed to do this it was different in his home country. i watched as they stopped a couple of cyclists for cycling on the pavement. I was waiting for a bus recently when two British Transport Police officers joined me.
