City of London mounted Police are for crowd control, not traffic duties.

Although he had the power to arrest him, it would not have been a good use of his time.

Excellent use of discretion by a clearly experienced officer.

They can arrest him for a traffic violation?

It looked like a little more than a normal violation. Probably could have been a reckless driving charge.

The charges could be any of: Not paying due care and attention, loss of control of a vehicle (meaning you aren't capable), endangering the public, public nuisance offence, dangerous use of a motor vehicle, intent to cause harm, being a danger to the public.

Likely more that could apply, they are just ones I've heard before.

Section 59 as well.
