Traffic lights.. wot are they? Here in Mid Wales.. we don't have em!
 
Had a police car RLJ this morning at Mile End near PC world I was cycling towards Bethnal Green and he came out of a left hand turning.

Cant you wait for the traffic light to go green ffs or does the fact that you are a police car mean you dont have to follow road regulations?

I stopped because (I passed on a green)I was aware I was in his blind spot and he did that to save a few minutes.

Sunday commutes are always a pleasure.

I have had two instances recently where I have felt that I am being put in danger by the car behind me who choses to go through a red light when I have stopped.

In the first case I was aware that he didn't sound like he was stopping so I got the impression he was intending to continue through even though I was in the primary position and slowing as the lights changed from amber to red, so I moved to the side of the road to let him through - sooner have the nutter in front of me and out my way.
