Motorists fined on Twickenham bridge cycle lane

Seem to remember someone complaing about it a while back?

Any how police have been out for a few weeks now pulling over cars, mind you worse for it where Buses haven't seen any of those stopped!

I drive over that bridge for work a few times most days, the Bike lane is a tad rubbish has to be said, though the updates seem worse not better...

That made me chuckle. Particularly that the police would appear to have acted after their borough commander had a near miss and not after many complaints from other cyclists.

Police had previously been told by cyclists about motorists illegally using the cycle lane, although it appears that action was only taken after Clive Chalk, Borough Commander for Richmond Upon Thames, was nearly knocked off his back there.

Well - that's one way of adding to his income I guess....
