What a twat!!!


He should not have done it.
+ even if he still did it he should have ridden away.
Its not as if they could have taken his numberplate.



I'm all for getting as many people out of cars as possible, but you still have to obey the rules of the road ffs.

He says he was the only traffic on the road, so not really a massive bad example .

Do you ever go above the speed limit?

[innominate]

True. I break the speed limit pretty much everyday on the motorway.


But his justification is crap.



If I get caught I just admit it.
I know the law, I choose o break it.
If I get caught I don't try and hide it.

Not the same for a massive number of motorcyclists that given the chance would get out of a fine if they could.

Saying the following seems a bit hypocritical when you don't either -

Ahh so if you was waiting at the lights at the same time as him and he went through on red and then you followed you would be ok with the cops pulling you over and doing you and pulling him over and saying on yer way m8 your only on a push bike?

I appreciate that I am not amazing environmentally friendly. This is why I am happy for those that /do/ try and look after the environment for me and future generations some slack.
It is because I am not so good that I can appreciate those that do put more effort in.
For instance I would defintely respect someone that was doing unpaid charity work in Iraq, caring for orphans. This is something I care about, but in the end thoughts of my own pleasure are stronger than my care for others in the world in this case.

I've heard of some people getting let off pretty serious speeding stuff because it was early in the morning, definitely more cases than I've heard of people getting badly done for them, I'd say.
By my logic the punishment should be relative to the severity crime; so if you are much less likely to be endangering people, especially other people, the punishment should be much smaller.

For instance if it was someone driving a steam roller at 30mph in a highstreet half an hour after school closing time, then going through a red light, I think a much higher penalty would be justified!

i am sick of seeing bycles going through red lightes and weaving all over the road. there is a law that says also that there is a £50 fine for cycling on a pavement that i have never heard enforced.

it dosnt matter what time he went through the red light at the thing is the rest of us dont get away with it so why should he?

i had a fight with a cyclist before for not letting traffic past at all and cycling beside the cycle lane in the middle of the road. i tried to get past her and she kept weaving in my path and pissed a whole que of people off behind me. 10mph the whole way down a main busy road. beside the fecking bycle lane! wtf?

FFS for all we know the bloke came to the lights, looked both ways and cycled across at all of 5mph. You can spout the goodie-two-shoes Road Traffic Act all you like but the fact is it's a total non-event and clearly the coppers just had nothing better to do.

All of this 'if he was a 4x4' bollocks is just that. He isn't a bloody 4x4 he's 1 bloke on a bike weighing 1/100th of what a 4x4 does. He could've rolled right up to the line (unlike a car) and seen clearly what was(n't) coming as well as been able to hear there was nothing around (no engine noise or anything else).

Clearly it's live and let live until it's two wheels without an engine.
