An object lesson in keeping your mouth shut...

So, there should be no consequences for breaking the law and we should all do what we like? Hah.

Perhaps RLJ'ing isn't any sort of deal for you.
For others it clearly is.
Do we really need to cover that ground again.

Sorry, I thought the comment 'Really? What a nice person you are', was sarcastic... Apologies for my cynicism.

Nice to see you contributing to threads in a productive manner again. Keep it up.

Natural selection will catch even the most arrogant eventually...those who rely on the intelligence and discipline of others on the roads to keep them safe will sooner or later come across someone else with the same attitude, but with a much bigger vehicle....and SPLAT!

 

[Davidsw8]

Shouldn't it be an "abject lesson"?

Just sayin.

I was thinking that but then I Googled it and it said 'object lesson' was ok...

It was...User30090 is an unapologetic RLJer

Ah ok.

Without getting into a huge RLJ debate, I just don't see the point of it. You don't get anywhere more quickly or more safely (in fact, it's arguably a lot unsafer) and you're breaking the law and you look stupid - so you lose any way you look at it.

Also, just to add, I saw a very close call last week at this very same junction when a cyclist chose to jump the light and ended up between a huge tipper truck and a bus going through on the green. It was only the good judgement of both drivers that prevented him being squashed between the two.

I find if you cultivate a certain silent menacing stare they shut up pretty quickly.

Like this?

I know he's not everyones cup of tea but I do like this one.

He blew it by speaking before the cabbie set off.

Wouldn't life be so much more pleasant if we all gave each other a damn break once in a while. I count myself in this, but if we all did the right thing, we'd all be happier and safer.

But, as cyclists, we'd have very little to complain talk about.

Yer, but it is everybody elses fault for also being on the road at the same time...if there were no cars , then the lights would be irrelevant...apart from the fact that for every multiple occupancy vehicle taken off the road, you would have a cyclist doing their own thing...which is fine providing they aren't all doing User30090's thing at the same time.

Road laws are for mugs innit......

Could talk about how lovely and sunny it is right now or the amazing view you get when cycling over Lambeth Bridge, the fresh air.... yeh, you're right, it's boring
