Court summons for RLJ

Just like to point out again that 1. I was going very slowly, even if I hit someone it wouldn't have done a thing, and 2. The single person there was not within the lines of the crossing.

Also, it is more than fair to complain about killer taxis, I get them cuttin me up and forcing me into the curb for no reason ther than that they can. I was just trying to save some time by going through a red light with one ped on it, where I know for a fact that it is a red light for all directions of traffic.

I have some sympathy with you on this one. You get busted for RLJ, fair enough, take it on the chin and make your donation to your local MPs new duck mansion with good grace. But what you describe obvioulsly wasn't dangerous riding (or whatever the charge was).

Very obviously the actual reason you got stopped was because you flaunted the law (red light) right in front of the rozzer so he didn't actually have much choice but to stop you.

I'm not a lawyer, so basically I'm talking out of my arse, but it does sound like he'd have a hard time proving you were riding dangerously though going that slowly. That charge sounds more akin to the one they they used when that poor gentlemen was killed by the cyclist on the pavement (when they should have done manslaughter). Totally disproportionate, and given that no one complained / got hurt / alarmed at you seems a tad harsh.
