Done. A while ago I've seen video of the guy using bus lane on motorcycle deliberately , so he can be pulled in by police. And he argue with them on that matter, and show them V5 there says bicycle.

Surprise surprise,,,he got done. Was a good video of the guy trying to argue his way out of trouble but the cops were not having it.

Petition signed and now up to 4403, still a long way to go :2up
