Wow! - I've not posted on this site before but when/if I put a topic on for discussion I'll make sure to duck once I have. That's my lunchbreak gone just reading this one thread and I haven't even seen the vid because our masters consider 'youtube' one of those dangerous sites that needs blocking so we're not corrupted by subversive views or some such b#llocks. I'm making tea now if anyone wants one.

Even with a giant black back pack you can see the arms and parts of the back, not to mention the front!!
What an odd mind you have
I agree - I don't think it's a good idea to put the backpack over the high vis - I put my high vis vest onto my backpack - that way everyone can see me more clearly as they point and say "look at that hunchback on a bike"!

Lee, you are wrong. That first bullet point you quoted is not backed by law, it is only advisory. You need to read the into to the Highway Code where it's carefully explained how only MUST statements are legal requirements.

I'm not sure you're big enough to admit this though.

I just don't understand why people ride on the road if they're not going to obey the rules of the road. Fair enough it might get you to where you are going a little quicker but I doubt there are many cyclists out there who don't want drivers to show them a little bit more respect than many of them do, so why get other road users backs up by ignoring red lights like that?

Great, you've admitted you're wrong about Rog not actually breaking the law there. As for the rest, yes I agree with you that it's polite and good practice to stop.
I'll leave the debate as to whether he could have stopped easily or only with an emergency full anchor stop for that crossing, since it's hard to tell not being familiar with his particular camera angle. I suspect grey area between the two though.

Wow, I'm impressed with his latest post, surprised me too. Respect to Lee for admitting he was wrong.
