Idiots stopping in ASL boxes.

Hang on a minute everyone, his bike is expensive, surely he must be right?

Some interesting quotes from Marcus Aurelius:

• You have power over your mind - not outside events. ...
• “Dwell on the beauty of life. ...
• “The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.” ...
• “Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. ...
• “Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be.

Food for thought there.

Oh well............I agree with an earlier poster, I don't think 90%+ of drivers know what the boxes are. Doesn't stop me when I am in a giddy mood though, I like to do a theatrical swirl around and a stop in front of the car (not bus/truck), then reverse back. It's like eliciting a nod from a fellow cyclist but then not reciprocating, little things, enormous pleasure.

You know that green comes after red, right? So evidence that you were across the line on green is not evidence that you were not across the line on red.

Obviously you’ve not watched the video. The lights go from red, to amber and red, then green. Green does not come straight after red. As you should be able to work out, if the light was green when I looked up, the red and amber phase was lit as I came to a stop and looked down, so I knew that the green was going to be lit, by the time I crossed the line, which it was, which is all that matters. It’s not hard to understand. It’s called anticipation, and timing.

Ignorance of the facts of the ASL rules is common, but no excuse.

What the flying fig has the cost of the bike got to do with anything? I am right, no matter the cost of the bike.

Evidence that you were over the line on red?
At this point your back wheel would have been over the stop line!

Same place, do you know it?

I do know the difference between Crew and Crewe, because I’m not illiterate.

And the lights were already on amber and red, and therefore I anticipated and timed my move perfectly, as to cross the line on green.

As you can clearly see, because I was turning left here.

Utter bollocks, my previous picture clearly shows the light on red & the white line behind you

I caught this complete bellend on camera yesterday.

Yes, it appears so.

no it doesn’t . My lid is where the camera is, it’s way in front of the rear wheel. I had my foot down, pushing towards the line, to make sure the driver in the box had spotted me, which I wouldn’t have needed to, if he hadn’t been in the box.

Is that you trying to be clever? You failed.

Bike cameras are fun.

If your camera puts you in fun mood, I hate to think what you'd be like without it.

Why did you stop on green though.
You stopped, so you've said, with your rear wheel behind the line.

But you arrived at the lights with perfect timing, allowing you to not have to stop.
