So they set up a camera van. Didn't catch one bike, but did catch 3 councillor's, most of the cricket team too.

Cyclists riding 2 a breast. I don't understand the reasoning and all it does is make it more difficult to overtake them

In the Highway code it says that don't ride more than 2 abreast, out of courteousness & safety we'll go into single file when we hear a vehicle behind us.
As to the reason its so we can talk to each other on a pleasant day out, which you can't do if you're riding single file. If you want to moan, have a go at horse riders, riding 2 abreast down the road

I remember a police officer saying that when a village complains about speeders they set up a camera there and catch people from the next village down... then they set up the camera in the next village and catch the original complainers.

I *think* the highway code says that a vehicle causing a queue to form should pull over where possible to let faster traffic past. I think this is aimed at tractors etc but it applies to all. Quote:
