When Oxford's traffic system changed a couple (?) of years ago, I
saw a cyclist cycling the wrong way alongside Balliol. A policeman
on duty stopped her and gave her a pretty stern warning. The woman
was absolutely astounded - and I *mean* **astounded** - at being
pulled over for a traffic violation as she was "only on a bike".
She simply could not believe that the rules of the road applied to her.

Ah, but is that her being a demon cyclist, or a stereotypical Oxford
student with an overactive sense of entitlement?
The two conditions made an interesting conjunction. And often do!
