For the all-red time to be 10 seconds, the "distance travelled to the probable collision points by vehicles losing right-of-way compared with those gaining right-of-way" would have to be well over 73 metres and probably with those losing right-of-way being large vehicles climbing a steep incline, according to Traffic Advisory Leaflet 1/06 Part 4 (to get a 15 second intergreen, assuming a typical 3 second amber before green and 2 second red+amber). Are many junctions that large?Says who? I can think of numberous sets of traffic lights (including several I go through on a daily basis) where this is clearly not the case.
Who's siding with the cyclist? I think most are saying that it sounds like both cyclist (jumping red) and motorist (skimming cyclist) acted nobbishly.IThe OP gives one persons account of what happened and it seems plausible that it could happen , but I am really struggling to understand how people who were not there and haven't heard the other side of the story are willing to side with the cyclist no matter what is said
Someone skinned a cyclist, hells bells!
I take a lot of the content of the OP with a very large pinch of salt... sounds like a lot of ex post facto rationalisation and embroidery.
