London Bikers beware - Operation "wastemoretime"

i have seen a thread on this from a guy on LB, he's in the know somehow, but i thought in wasnt going to be 'properly enforced' until 09, seems it has come early, it was also mentioned to me last year buy a copper i know.

in london i would be very carefull, cameras are everywhere and i bet they will be used to enforce it. its a tricky one, watch out for cameras.. and old bill... you might get away with it... you might not, judging by the amount of riders in london that do use them, scoots, big bikes, couriers etc i cant see it being heavily enforced(unless cameras come into play like bus lanes), bit like the crackdown on drivers using mobiles...whatever...yes it would help... but it didnt work!...

TfL use CCTV cameras to enforce yellow box junctions/bus lanes/stopping on red routes. However since it's highly unlikley that anyone will be installing CCTV just to cover cycle boxes (funnily enough these are not considered a top priority in terms of keeping the traffic moving!), I suspect that you'll be safe from cameras at junctions where the aforementioned features are not present.

Daimo. Where you work? Out company has just moved into Coleman Street.

Today on the Woolworth road, a police car waiting in the cycle box...kettle, pot, black.

One rule for them,and one for us again it seems.

Moorgate, in that high tower (citypoint).

I would have actually got the guy to put the window down and asked him why he was breaking the law by jumping a red light. See what he said. I'd note down his f-ing number this time too.

In fact, any dealings with the police for whatever reason in the future, im gonna take down their f-ing number....

they may use existing cameras? plus they have them smart cars fitted with CCTV on a pole, it can rotate 360 too! i think we just have to wait and see, personaly i cant see it being majorly enforced,you'd think teh police have better things to do, like stopping and searching all teh lilttle hood rats carying weapons...no cant do that its racist...oh we'll just have to go pull over motorcyclists for minor offences....bellends...

ah. I'm always doing this

Anyhoo, i stopped in EVERY green box i could this morning on the way into town. Didnt see any coppers about enforcing them either.

Maybe they realised it was an absolutely pointless waste of time and decided to go catch some crook or something.


Oh wait no, thats too much like work. Guess they're in Selfridges at the Crispy Cremes counter

With regards to catching crooks oooookaaaayyyyy.
