So much safer for cyclists to be allowed to go through red!

It seems you have quoted me and told your story to try and point out i'm wrong.

I'm sorry for what happened to your daughter, but my point stands.

There are significantly more people seriously injured or killed from negligence from motorists than there are cyclists.

Even on the pavement. Something like 50 pedestrians a year killed by vehicles on the pavement.

A significant number of motorists simply don't regard other road users as people, if they aren't distracted, they are aggressive. Some utter dimwit overtook me about 2 seconds before I turned right a few days ago, if I had cut the corner I would be dead, if someone had turned left out of the junction...

Driving needs to be a privilege and not a right. Cars are 2 ton missiles.

Interestingly, the only people in this forum context who wilfully claim to have broken any road traffic laws are yourself

Hard to understand how a pedestrian can break a traffic law (I haven't been walking on any motorways recently).

But I see plenty of anti-social colour blind cyclists breaking the law every day.

Glad you agree that there are to many anti-social colour blind cyclists.

Now, how do you suggest that these menaces are taken off the road.

As they seem to exist in your world along with motorists who rarely speed or drive through red lights I think they're your problem . Have you considered therapy or maybe a hobby of some kind?

You are correct.

I have never seen a motorist sail through a red light after it has been red for a minute or two.

I see plenty of anti-social colour blind cyclists do it every day.

Don't you, or do you have a vision problem as well?

Have you been watching the Sixth Sense by any chance?

There are a few things you find hard to understand. It's called ignorance, something you seem to display at every turn.
