Knaves' new world

[Martin Cassini]

More evidence of asinine red-light law and disorder here (back tab to return). In an early cut of In Your Car No-one Can Hear You Scream! a driver spoke about penalty points and a fine he received for entering a bus lane on the Euston Road to let a fire engine pass. They even refused his appeal. We live in a new world of knaves (technocrats).

I know that this gentleman is not the first to be caught out in this way, and it is unlikely that he will be the last. It's a shame he's not going to fight it. In Australia, a woman was fined for riding a bicycle without a helmet, yet most evidence demonstrates that not wearing a helmet is safer for cyclists. http://www.copenhagenize.com/2009/08/cyclist-versus-goliath-fighting.html
Unfortunately, those making and enforcing rules, despite their good intentions, do not have sufficient knowledge.
