But you were so you didn't

What a crap reponse ,?

[Lemond]

What a crap reponse ,?

Ah. You made the fatal mistake of criticising a cyclist. That can make some of the natives around these parts feel threatened, and they get all antsy.

 

[Racing roadkill]

RLJ cyclists are scummy vermin. It's not just motorists that they irritate.

I saw some dick in full team kit on a TT bike doing the same, evidently all the gear and no idea as if he was that good, it wouldn't hurt him to stop at red ped lights...there were lots of very shocked peds as he tried to mow them down. Tw@t

 

[Markymark]

Do you normally go through a junction at full speed without checking the way is clear?

I thought @MossCommuter was praising your caution!

I missed the bit where the OP said he did that.

 

[Markymark]

I missed the bit where the OP said he did that.

He said he was only going slow because of oncoming traffic. That to me reads that if there wasn't he wouldn't have slowed.

 

[vickster]

I do slow a bit for lights even when green, but don't crawl through if the way is seemingly clear?

 

[Vapin' Joe]

He said he was only going slow because of oncoming traffic. That to me reads that if there wasn't he wouldn't have slowed.

To me it read that he had slowed to a crawl because of other vehicles, no indication that he would have sailed through at full pelt otherwise.

If you run a red light and get clobbered, the blame is on you. Darwinism at it's finest.

Correct. Slow a little and see if it's ckear. That massively reduced the chance of smashing into someone who shouldn't be there. Going st full speed without being prepared to stop is poor driving.

Nice assumption..
