red light jumping cyclist....

If they argue that, then it could be argued at any junction.

therefore no offence.

That sounds like a 'cop out' top me (excuse the pun). Jumping a red light is an absolute offence. TS10 I believe which is 3 points and £60 fine?

Now if car thieves can have endorsements on their non-existent licences say for a car chase with the cops, why not a cyclist? The copper in question could have stepped off the pavement and stopped a cyclist, given him a fixed penalty there and then surely? No license and they go to court to be dealt with?

Given that a high proportion of cyclists will also have a driving license, I'm sure they would soon get the message that the rules of the road apply to ALL vehicles.

EDIT: Soulkiss has beat me to it.

Picture the scene, me and a bunch of other bikes and scooters are sitting at the fornt of the traffic at the lights. Its a crossroads and the lights for the traffic going across us change but one cyclist thinks he'll be quick enough... forgetting that bikes at lights love their traffic light GP starts.

the biggest ugliest Harley was what he saw as we shot across on our green light and he hit his front broake so hard that not only did he go over the top of his handlebras but his bicycle flew right over our heads!!!!

Oh how i wish more of them got that sort of thing for jumping red lights. I mean he came to very minor harm, a few cuts on his hands and knees and i'd hate it if he'd got badly hurt but it made all the others on bikes behind him stop and think

Wrong place, wrong time, as in I was in the wrong place at the wrong time - I would have loved to have seen that.

what? you pulled the front brake so hard your SV flipped over your head and hit him???











good shot

It is definitely against the law to run a red on a bicycle! In Oxford the police had a crack down at one set of traffic lights. They gave out 92 fines in 1.5 hours, and had to stop cos they had run out of tickets.

Synchronicity isn't too bad either.
