err, yes I'm afraid so

Happened about 10 yrs ago in Plymouth, pulls up next to this old dear on her step-thru scooter, her 'Barbara Woodhouse' style skirt fluttering in the breeze, old p*ss pot helmet & a small shopping bag in the footwell. Next thing I know the lights change & she's off like a scalded cat, leaving me sat there looking like a right prat

All I could hear was laughter from the guy behind who I was out for a ride with

Oh the shame of it

although looking back on it now, it's quite funny really
