Cameron Caught Breaking Traffic Laws

Tory leader David Cameron has apologised after being caught on camera breaking the law four times in just one journey to work at Westminster.

Mr Cameron was filmed going through two red lights, riding the wrong way up a one-way street and going right around a keep-left bollard.

The Conservative's top man - who has apologised for the gaffes - was filmed by the Daily Mirror newspaper during a 30-minute cycle journey from his Notting Hill home.

He said: "I know it is important to obey traffic laws but I have obviously made mistakes on this occasion and I am sorry.


"It is good to know The Mirror are watching over me - it will keep me on my toes."

Sky News' political correspondent Joey Jones said Mr Cameron makes much of his green credentials as a cyclist.

But he added: "He's taken this in good spirit and has apologised immediately.

"He's done the right thing and acknowledged he's got to more careful and, knowing people are watching him, he will be."

Jones said there had been allegations of the Conservative leader biking through red lights before.

But he said the most damaging blow to his green image was when it emerged he had biked to work - while a car followed behind carrying his clothes and documents.

Kevin Clinton, head of road safety for the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (Rospa), said it is "disappointing when someone in the public eye sets a bad example".

I think they are using this publicity stunt as an excuse to come down hard on cyclists and to DNA them for not wearing a helmet etc.
Boris Johnson (scum) who is running for Mayor of London commented on David Cameron's crimes and said that the laws on cyclists must be enforced :rolleyes:

Or he's just being a trumped up prick!

What never ceases to amaze me is the furore in the media when a politician is caught breaking the law, whether in a major way, a la Richard Nixon, or a minor way, a la David Cameron. We allow these cowboys to take control of our society and then raise our hands in shock and indignation when they... you know... act like cowboys!:rolleyes: "I can't believe that Billy the Kid did that! I knew he was a bounder before, but I always assumed he be as pure as the driven snow when he got into power!" It's all part of the denial and "don't go there!" factor that is a necessary mental block if you're going to believe the myth of democracy.
