RLJ (Red Light Jumping). (The definitive bikeradar thread)

In the second, a car speedily approaches a busy crossroads and pedestrian intersection. The lights turn amber for the car, and pedestrians start to cross before the man turns green. The car is rather close to the intersection, so rather than slow down and stop for the amber he speeds up in hopes of making it across, beeping and tooting his horn to get people crossing out of the way - and narrowly misses hitting them. This is not illegal (as far as I am aware? please correct)

• therefore what the motorist has done is good.
  
  
  
  

No, the motorist has not done good and should not have sped up on amber, want to try another example!

I see where you are coming from though but to me it is safer for people to abide by the laws set by the many rather than abide by their own moral compass. Some people's moral compasses don't see anything wrong with killing/harming someone because of their sexuality, race etc, etc,. remember.
