why does eveybody have a problem with a cylcist jumping a red light? If the road ahead is clear, then why should traffic stop? The road is no different to a dotted line where one stops, checks nothing is coming from the sides or tuning right from the opposite direction and proceedds with care.
A cyclist is unlikley to cause insjury to someone in a car, bus or lorry; and if the cyclist themselves get hit, then they should have looked first - in fact, even when going through a green light they should look just as much.
they have "right turn on left" in USA which work well.
what it boils down to is jealousy - car drivers cannot stand it when someone, especilaly on a bike, makes progress whilst they themselves are stuck in traffic. ... perhaps if mor of them got their fat arses on a bike, then there would be more forward progress. (I wish I could do that but my commute is a bit too far whcih is really annoying me; used to be 3.5 miles, now is11 miles due to job change
)
