Jeremy Hunt must resign

Damn straight he should resign take a look at the photo of him here. Rule 59 of the Highway Code states that he should be wearing a cycle helmet and light coloured or fluorescent clothing. Sure it's not a law, but what sort of example is he setting to the country?

Stay in bike lane

A delightful piece from an American who after being fined for straying from a bicycle lane adheres strictly to the law from that point onwards

In the UK this couldn't happen (or at least shouldn't). Rule 62 of the Highway Code states that cyclists should
Keep within the lane when practicable.
Not that there should be that many obstructions given Rule 240 in which it is an offence to stop or park on a cycle lane or track.

But how does rule 62 get enforced? If I see a cyclist heading towards Stourport along the dual-carriageway ignoring the perfectly clear and safe cycle lane could they be stopped by the police and 'told off'?
