No thanks to the 2012 Olympic Games, London has become a more heavily patrolled and less friendlier place for cars of any type or price – the Bugatti Veyron EB 16.4 included.

Still, it’s not every day that you see a 1,001-horsepower (986bhp) supercar being signaled by a policeman to follow him on a…bicycle for a violation.

YouTube poster ‘supercarsoflondon’ describes the short incident thusly:

“Definition of Irony? 1001bhp Veyron being stopped by a Policeman on a push bike!!! This is a rare site for a car like this to be pulled over. The Olympics definitely means more police. This incident only occurred due to no front number plate! Policeman wasting everyones time!!”

Head past the jump to watch the video.
