There was a lorry driver on this programme last night who did admit fault, and seemed very genuine about it (instead of just trying to smarm the police man) - the sad thing is that that's such a rarity. He was foreign (Dutch maybe, by the accent) and had pulled out into a car sitting in his blindspot. No one hurt thankfully.
I assume people are going to pull out in front of me, or cut in, or not stop regardless of what the lights suggest... My dad taught me at an very early age that a red light doesn't physically stop cars, and then at about age 7 or 8 I saw a girl knocked down outside school, and to this day, I more often than not wait for the green man when I'm crossing a road, and I keep looking both ways as I cross.
But then today, I overtook another cyclist (on my bike) and realised as I was doing it that I probably shouldn't be doing it, as we were still on the zigzags of a crossing. Mea culpa. I wonder how many people even remember what those mean?
