@K.Coo
why?
I don't think this is true at all- if someone has a determined committment to their "right" to jump every single red light, then other cyclists shouting RED at them may not deter them, but why would it encourage them?
And I should imagine that the vast majority of RLJers do it in the full knowledge that what they're doing is often pretty arrogant, impatient and dangerous (3 of the worst attributes of bad drivers- total hypocrisy on the part of a RLJ-ing-poor-driving-moaning cyclist btw) and another cyclist pointing this out to them is likely to encourage them to reconsider their actions?
(I will take this to the RLJ thread but since the discussion of shouting RED popped up here, I'll post this wee reaction to it here)
