David Cameron caught breaking traffic laws on bicycle

Conservative leader David Cameron has said “sorry” for breaking red lights and cycling the wrong way up a one way street.

The Daily Mirror followed the politician as he cycled to work from his home in Notting Hill.

Mr Cameron said: “I know it is important to obey traffic laws – but I have obviously made mistakes on this occasion and I am sorry.”

The newspaper caught Mr Cameron cycling the wrong way up a one-way street in Dawson Place, crossing the white line at a red light and driving the wrong way around a bollard in the Mall.

The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents said it set a bad example.
Since becoming the opposition leader two years ago, Mr Cameron has tried to emphasise his party’s – and his own – green credentials. He cycles to work most Wednesdays.

But just months after becoming Conservative leader, it was revealed he had cycled in followed by a chauffeur-driven car, which was carrying his briefcase, shoes and documents.
