I think I may have killed a driver...

You're riding at 15mph, and you come up to a junction. You're on the ASL, you know, the green bit past one stop line and before the cycle stop line. The light changes to orange. Do you stop?

only with the use of a car/wall blocking the road...

I see, and that isn't making a big deal out of it...

When you say big deal,what is it you mean?Iv been answering in this debate as best i can,you keep putting questions?

So you agree that it was trivial and that therefore the response was unjustified... And you now can't blame the cyclist so you'll just make the inferrence that he was looking for conflict? How ironic.

Im not saying it was unjustified and im not agreeing to anything,im saying some take it badly,like this driver,do read the post properly cab

There you go,answered in the reply box,you know,the one thats white and you type in.

LOL, the avoidance!!

OK, that's pretty much confirmed that you know you are in the wrong with your amber gambler comments, and that you were trolling. Perhaps you ought to apologise to Sharky!

I think thats a bit over the top,i wasnt trolling,i gave my opinion,which still is the same,no one needs to apologise to anyone,unless sharky wants to apologise to the driver?

 

[Sh4rkyBloke]

No apology required. Col gave his opinion and, no matter how ill informed and generally wrong, it is still his opinion and he's entitled to it.

Why cant you have that attitude to car drivers on the road

Yes now apologise mikey

So not only are your posts not backed up by the highway code, but you've effectively admitted you would do exactly the same as Sharky yourself. That's just trolling.

Of course it's always possible that what really happened is different from Sharky's description, LOL!

How dare you!!!!

Actually it was a 7 year old in his go cart on the pavement. I could have taken him if his 9 year old Sister hadn't been there....

Iv already said i wouldnt go through amber,and i definitely wouldnt purposely try to wind anyone up,that answer was a joke reply to counter your joke question pointing out to me what an asl looks like,now you are really trolling arnt you
Come on you know you want to apologise.

I think the point that BM is trying to make, Col, is that if you are approaching at speed and there is no chance you are going to stop... what do you do? You *have* to run the amber. There's no choice about it other than slamming your brakes on and ending up in the middle of a junction.

I agree with you,but he wanted a yes no answer to a trick question,which i couldnt give,as i always slow for lights.

 

[Sh4rkyBloke]

You always slow for lights???

How bizarre. They should be set up such that if you are travelling at the speed limit you should have distance/time to stop once it changes to Amber... thus there's no need to slow down in expectation.

I would think that'd be a hazard to other road users who are not expecting you to brake for a Green light.

Each to their own, I guess.
