Had some fuckhead in a Jeep crossing Putney High Street from Disraeli to Norroy on a red. Meaning, traffic on my road was at a standstill, I'm cycling down through, it's green for me, and this absolute shithead decides that as "nothing" is moving on Putney High Street anyway (and it's a boxed junction so sometimes cars actually keep that intersection free), he might as well nip across on a red. Nearly took me out, good thing my front brake grips properly.
I'm usually the last one to complain about jumping red lights, but this is exactly the type of situation when you should definitely not do it - minimal visibility, everything full of stuff, there could be a pedestrian or a cyclist or a scooter anywhere.
