Red lights and cyclists

Bit like the knobs who think the one-way sign on the road outside my inlaws doesn't apply to them.

I always do, I find the best result is if the cyclist is just very slightly behind it.

lol, buddy.... It's not just my car that's equipped with a front mounted camera and I know a lot of cyclists are now fitting them, check out this guys video's
Prosecutions against drivers have been made as a result of video's like his.

Those video's also show ignorant car drivers just what it's like from a cyclists point of view....

Watched a couple of those, a couple I thought "well, these things happen" and another couple I found fairly poor/shocking.

I know I, for one, won't be shopping with "Dave The Plumber" in Cambridge any time soon having watched the "poor cycle lane design and bully van man" vid.

(as an aside - go my glorious little webbots!...get this posting nice and high in the search engine listings! Show the whole internet what a to$$er Dave The Plumber is...bwahahahaha!)

Be a good video then.
Car in front in traffic clearly indicating left, idiot cyclist coming up behind, car still indicating and moving slowly, cyclist decides to undertake, car starts to turn, cyclist has a lucky escape then carries on through a red light.
I don't think I'll worry too much.

Good video of yours by the way, clear cycle lanes, and at least 3 cyclists still hurtling down the pavement, without any regard for pedestrians.

Keep looking, you're cyclists, it'll take you longer, the chip on your shoulder usually blocks your vision.
Motorists are used to having to worry about them being where they shouldn't be.

Up to 150 miles a week cycle commuting all year.

Helmet - Yes
Twin 900 Lumen Front Lights and 1 Watt Rear - Yes
Helmet Mounted Spot - Yes

Red Lights - Advisory
One Way Systems - Advisory
Cops - Too Busy With Drug Dealers and Battered Wives

Most motorists are very cycle friendly.

Fat women, young males, builders vans and elderly drivers of Volvos are however not cycle friendly.


Four pints of liquid bread and I cycle like a God.

X5 wing mirrors are a nuisance when filtering.

£50 a week saved cycling helped pay for new factory order 2010 turbo convertible SAAB with carbon interior and anthracite leather

As long as you don't object if I drive over your spinal column when you appear in front of me without warning, by all means keep ignoring the red lights. I'll try and miss you, but as I am a new driver, I can't guarantee my skills are sufficient to do this every time.

You MUST NOT cross the stop line when the traffic lights are red. Some junctions have an advanced stop line to enable you to wait and position yourself ahead of other traffic (see Rule 178).

I'll not stop for you.
