How fast-talking cyclist got away with 'jumping red light' after
tongue-tied policeman failed to arrest him

By RICHARD HARTLEY-PARKINSON

They are the bane of motorists' and pedestrians' lives - cyclists who
jump red lights - but when one hapless policeman confronted a biker,
he was comprehensively out-talked and outsmarted.

A video of the exchange captured on the cyclist's helmet gives a
display of police impotence to deal with a minority of cyclists with
the rules standing as they currently do.

It is understandable, then, that an officer identified only as PC
Stout, appeared to become frustrated and reached out for the head
camera in a row over a traffic fine.

After being stopped for allegedly jumping a red light on Edgware Road,
Central London, the biker refuses to give his details, telling the
policeman that he is not obliged to do so.

.... and there's more. For the full story and the video, go to:
