Conservative leader David Cameron has apologised after being photographed cycling through red lights and the wrong way down a one way street.
“I know it is important to obey traffic laws – but I have obviously made mistakes on this occasion and I am sorry,”
There is a video at this BBC of David Cameron’s cycling exploitsÂ
It’s easy to condemn David Cameron for breaking the law. But, I’d like to see the Daily Mirror follow other MPs driving. I bet they would catch quite a few MPs, doing the naughty side of ninety….
Of course, it is wrong to break the law and I think an MP will be looked upon a role model. But, I do have some sympathy with David Cameron, he wasn’t putting anyone’s life in danger. London’s roads are very difficult to negotiate for cyclists.
In most other countries it is not illegal to cycle the contrary direction of a one way street.
These days I always stop at red lights, although I have to admit if there’s a pedestrian crossing and no one’s there I hardly think it’s a big crime to cycle slowly through.
he has form on this, i’ve read about similar stuff in the other papers. both the evening standard and the observer have carried such stories before
