More like guidelines.
Videos like these are what make me just laugh at the thought of driverless cars. How are they every going to make progress in London? ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

Indeed, but you also don't begin to cross against a red light, and they started it. Neener neener.
I could do without the head shaking though, we do get the point.

At people starting to cross against a red.
He should just ride through red lights, see how they like it.
I love you though: let's rub our helmets together. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

Vlogger < Pedestrian walking in the road.
At least the incompetence of the latter is predictable - while the go-pro often makes vloggers obvious, some are less conspicuous . |

No it does not. It's red plus amber, and red (whether accompanied by amber or not) means halt, do not proceed, do not initiate locomotion, do not cross go the stop line.
However, you can see how well that's followed by the people responsible for enforcing it here...

... and in many other similar videos.
RJ's clearly a dick though - look at these.

Earphones in, iphoned up, texting pedestrians, totally oblivious to anything outside of their own, self obsessed, little world are KSI's just waiting to happen!
We had one of these twunts wander out in front of our car a while ago, we managed to stop and avoid hitting the, useless, prick, but apparently it was our fault for having the temerity to be driving, perfectly legally, on the highway!
Shame we didn't hit the little fcuker, might have taught him a lesson! ____________________ "Everybody needs money, that's why they call it money!"  |

Quite!
I agree, never understood the attraction of music and blutooth in your helmet and satnav on the handlebars, too many distractions! ____________________ "Everybody needs money, that's why they call it money!"  |

Mobile phones are the devils spawn! It amazes me how many people walk around with these things pinned to their ears or staring at them texting oblivious to their surroundings! As for car drivers on mobile phones, I would take away their licences! i have a mobile and it is used for my business but I refuse to answer it when I am driving or otherwise concentrating, if they want me that bad they will call back. I never use it when I am walking either, I stop and text or call. I have heard that there is a new operation to remove mobile phones from hands now though. Oh i should also mention that the rider in the clip was a bit of a tosser with his highway courtesy too.  |

I find him quite funny normally, as far as i can tell he seems to ride like most people i see?? Obviously he plays it up a bit with the revving but i dont think hes a total knobber. As for pedestrians, fuckem. People walking need to wake the fuck up and remove themselves from their mobiles.  ____________________ Cbr1100xx blackbird gone, mk4 golf gt tdi chav now

Had a similar thing recently. An elderly couple stepped straight out to cross a side road without looking sideways, just as I was turning into it. Luckily for them I had my eye on them and managed to stop a yard or two without any real issue to either of us. Still didn't stop the old biddy hurling abuse in my direction though. Maybe they couldn't afford a trip to Dignitas.  ____________________ There ain't no devil, there's just god when he's drunk.
