Four police and a van to fine veteran riding on the path

Four police and a van to fine veteran riding on the path

As a Second World War veteran who likes to keep fit, 84-year-old James Gresty thought hopping on his bike was a sensible way to collect his pension.



He ended up being pursued through a shopping centre by four police officers, two of them in a van, after they insisted he had ridden on the pavement.

He was issued with a spot fine, which he is refusing to pay and he has now challenged the chief constable to take him to court.


If you were in any doubt before this, it is the silly season!
