Police cracking down on cycling boxes....
One of my friends got caught yesterday by a police operation during commuting time in London.
Like many other bikers he got caught riding and stopping on a cycling box in front of cars, at a red light.
100 pounds fine and 3 points on his licence. Coming out as a jumping red light offence as the police has no specific "stopping on cycling box" specific offence. Can't imagine that the insurance will be pleased when seeing that description....
So careful guys....
As everyone, I usually try to push forward and get in front of cars, as it seems safer that way, but.... Keep an eye on coppers....
