    Total lie - we all know that cars never drive on the footpaths - just like they never speed.

    It is true that cars never drive anywhere, let alone on footpaths. And
    they never speed or go through red traffic lights, etc.

    But some loony chavs on bikes are not only guilty of childish
    anthropomorphism, but don't have hope of knowing what it and its six
    syllables mean.

    Failing to stop - the beaks take a very dim view of that offence.
