Because some idiot on a push bike thinks a red light does not apply to him.

Why do they do it. I hit brakes then horn watching mirror to make sure poor sod behind me doesn't run up my chuff.

I get a mouthful of abuse for my crime of sounding the horn.

Why oh why is my first instinct to brake and not the preservation of my back end from a possible head in the cloud driver behind. Then again would this two wheeled idiot have the insurance to pay for the damage if I had not reacted to his manoeuvre?
