So off I walked to the station this morning. I stopped at the traffic lights to wait for the green man (I know the drivers round here, crossing against the lights is not a life-enhancing activity). The lights changed, and a car turned left, knocking a cyclist down, and went on its merry way without stopping.
The vehicle behind the car that turned left was a clearly-marked (and full) police van, which, having disgorged one occupant to deal with the cyclist, promptly took off after the car, lights flashing and sirens wailing.
(The cyclist wasn't hurt, but I may sue due to damage to ribs caused by trying not to cackle out loud in public).
