Police fining cyclists

villa-ru I'm not averse to skipping through the odd red light - but I am bloody careful to look out for rozzers on the way. They are mostly in flouro jackets - so if you miss them, you can hardly say you were fully aware that it was safe to run through.

Does mean I occasionally screech to a stop for a fatbloke from the council though.

not quite, in my situation i was riding on the right side the coppers were stopping at the lights to the left and between them and i were nothing but buses. i saw all the peds, but i could not have seen them early enough in any circumstances.
