It really bugs me that sooner or later, someone in uniform and hi-viz clobber is going to tell me to stop just so he or she can deliver a misguided lecture about cycling safely.
I've clocked up a good solid 20 years of commuting in London and have a pretty good idea of how to look after myself and, perhaps more significantly, what the law says about behaviour on the roads. I've also had some pretty disappointing dealings with the police on the roads, so I can foresee any exchange of words with the police being at best an irritation.
Is there some effective way of identifying myself as someone they really don't want to speak to? Other than wearing hi-viz and a plastic hat, obv.
