Fair cop I was in the bus lane...

[funmonkee]

Got caught nipping into the bus lane for about 3 seconds, then saw the cops ahead so swifty left the bus lane... but, they pulled me as I passed and hit me with the £30 fine (fair cop well one of them anyway). Two points to this thread:-

1) One of them was a complete and utter a-hole... so If he's reading YOU ARE A FE(KIN TW@T... hehe. The other guy stuck to the facts and was completely professional. So 50% are (unts the other 50% aren't...

2) Why do they need to ask your occupation? Does this have an influence on the fine???


....
The pri(k police checked the bike other in soo much unnecessary detail you would believe... didn't find anything tho so up him

Yey dude ... Its odd cos I got off the bike and fully owned up to being in the bus lane, no point trying to get out of it and I thought they'd both appreciate the honesty and ability to just get on do the fine and move on...but one was a real (unt and just wanted to attempt to intimiate... fu(ker!!

But I don't get the occupation thing why is it relevant 'cos it it's not written on the pink fine document...

Jeez..they are playing good cop/bad cop.

It's quite common.

I refused to answer any questions from 'bad cop' on one occasion and it ended up with good cop screaming at bad cop to shut up.

Sad but true.

What i used to find when i was a younger and the local plod alway's gave us grief, was that it was usually the younger copper's who acted like they where on a crusade with a massive chip on there shoulder. The older one's couldn't be bothered with the paper work so usually just a ticking off from them.


Anyway bad luck on your fine

where did you get pulled, when i lived Bristol about 4 years ago bikes could the bus lanes. very forward thinking of bristol city council i thought.

now that moved to the south coast not been in a bus since because i've not seen the bike on the blue sign, plus traffic isnt that bad anyway. but thought we could still use them though!

does any have definite answer?

I was going down aroad earlier with lots of garden centres and this big truck pulled out. I overtook him and was accelerating when in the distance i saw a 'tree feller' in a high-vis jacket and ghard hat step into the road and hold his arm out for me to stop. As i got near him he started moving his arm up and down to slow down. I thought 'What is this guy doing????' Then, as i got nearer his truck, i saw a police car parked behind it (there had been some sort of accident). I nodded to the guy as i went past and got a look off some tall, old copper. How kind that guy was!

To tree fellers!

[funmonkee]

ha ha excellent... I wish I'd thought of that... just wave back when they waved me down... lol good one

I wouldn't have told them my occupation. A copper once asked me my occupation and how much I earned per week!

Bikes can use most bike lanes in Bristol. Chelmsford is also getting something similar. It's coming into effect at the moment.

In london it seems you can use the bus lanes when there's not enough room to filter cos the lanes are too narrow, taxis are the worst, in and out bus lanes like yo yos.
You could take the piss out of the coppers and ask what they do for a full time job.
Were they bike copps?
