there's a set of lights for a ped crossing in tooting, mitcham road, near the bottom of church lane. Buses often blatantly run the red as they have presumably just had enough of the previous 1,000 red lights along the last 100 metres (we give peds this many crossing yet they still prefer to run out into traffic). I was waiting at the bottom of church lane to turn right, and there is usually a safe moment to do so when this particular crossing goes red and stops the flow coming from your right.
As usual, someone came through after the lights had changed and I prepared to move off, well I would have except a people carrier came straight through the red afterwards, about three seconds into the red (scattering the peds) and on a beeline for me. He wasn't going that fast, thankfully, because I was able to witness the driver, "steering" with his forearms as he sat there operating, with both hands, either a games console, PDA, sat nav, or very large phone, completely oblivious to the road. Not only had he not been looking at the lights to see them change, he had not even known that he'd gone through. All this over a distance of about 70 yards. The vehicle had the usual green disc and "I am become death" sticker.
I was too surprised to think rationally, I probably would have been able to give chase, but I tend to just get wherever I'm going asap , just to reduce the chance of death/maiming from these cunts
