Default Institutionalised law-breaking using bikes - anarchy is near at hand

Silas Denyer ) gurgled happily, sounding much
like they were saying :

Yes, near Ambleside in Cumbria in 1986. I was clocked at over 30mph by
a police officer and stopped and "let off with a warning" for
exceeding the speed limit. I wasn't aware that the offense didn't
exist, and neither - clearly - was the office concerned.

For reference, I was coming down Kirkstone pass, and was undoubtedly
riding "furiously" and not being altogether sensible, but the offense
offered by the officer was definitely that of exceeding the speed
limit.


Umm, isn't that NSL? I certainly don't recall streetlights or 30 repeaters
all over the middle of nowhere...
