Like it or not a motorised vehicle that drives into the ASL when the light is amber or red = £60 fine and 3 points.
If cyclists were the only ones jumping red lights, there would be less crashes and injuries. It seems that the only things that define cyclists are: jump red lights, cycle on the pavement, dangerous activity.
Policies should focus on how to get people cycling. How many less cars on the road if people took their children to school, went shopping, went to work on a bike.
The majority of people are denied the "cycling opportunity" because the majority of people perceive cycling as a dangerous activity. They would like to, but are too scared. As an example, look at the small number of women cyclists.
