I think I do know the answer since this has happened a couple of times before but
I am on the street, daytime, legit rider, come to a junction in the road where 2 lanes veer right and 2 veer left
example
I am making the right, about where the bike is in the shot above, in the lane nearer to the camera.
Sitting there well in the centre of the lane, cop starts blowing his whistle, baton aimed at me, walking me down.
Grabs the handle bar and starts pulling to the kerb, insisting that bicycle must be on the left.....despite the fact I am turning right?
So I have to use the pedestrian crossing? Apparently so, but he says I can ride across the crossing??
Mostly I just ignore these guys since they are standing and I am on the move, except the motorbike cop, and here I am stuck at the lights....
who is right? and can I get a little statement that I can laminate and carry if need be?
and of course it may not be a matter of 'who is right' since arguing takes more time and aren't we always in a hurry but still, you know....
