“The cyclist told the Evening Standard: 'It is ludicrous. I don’t know if it is malicious or incompetence.'

[…]

However, Clifton was adamant that the road didn't have any markings,
adding: 'The "other side of the road" doesn't begin 'wherever my accuser wants'.”

ROFL…

He isn’t charged with being on the wrong side of the road:

“Clifton has been charged with riding a cycle on a road without due care
and attention after officers claimed he could 'pose a danger to other road users'”

…he’s charged with DCA… for being a danger to others.

More of this kind of police action, please.

And this comes at a time when cyclists are lauding the installation of AI cameras to catch motorists.

Oh…the biter bit…:-)

Haha excellent news, well done to the cops for cracking down on these law-breaking vigilante wannabe self-important dopes.

I have zero sympathy for Dave, next time mind your own business and let everyone else get on with life.

Imagine a car driver using the defence “I drove on the wrong side of the
road because there was no marking.”

He isn’t charged with being on the wrong side of the road:

“Clifton has been charged with riding a cycle on a road without due care and attention after officers claimed he could 'pose a danger to other road users'”

…he’s charged with DCA… for being a danger to others.

Sadly, I doubt that will be the case.

The biter, bit.

But... but... but... it's so UNFAIR!
