    A polite question ....
    What gives YOU the right to be able to run a red light when other road users would get SEVERELY prosecuted for doing so?

    - Cyclists will argue it's to get ahead of the other traffic
    FFS, you's already get a little area at the front of the traffic that allows you to get in front of them all waiting (then annoyingly hold everyone up).

    You can't argue about f*ckwit pedestrians stepping onto the road by the way. The green cross code tells you that you have to drive 100% aware of what other road users and pedestrials may or may not do and have to drive accordingly.
    So not only do they have a responsibility to look out for you but you also have a responsibility to look out for and anticipate their actions.

    • Just because the last 50 years have favoured drivers, doesn't mean that's the Right way to do things.Nairn
