I used to drive through Hyde Park on a regular basis, and always had to use a banned right turn to get where I wanted to be. It was very common for drivers to ignore the No Right Turn signs. One day I took the right turn, and turned straight into a line of police cars across the road, stopping everybody who turned right. A policeman sauntered up to me. I wound the window down. He leaned in. "Now then, sir. What foul crime have we just committed?" "I'm sorry officer, I didn't know I'd committed a crime" "Did you perhaps notice any No Right Turn signs at the junction, sir?" "No officer, I'm afraid not" "There are precisely twelve, sir" He let me go, with a "Mind how you go, sir". And I've never made that illegal right turn since! -- Cheers, Bob
