Addison Lee drivers told to defy bus lane law (and to just say SMIDSY)

Now I am a driver and a cyclist and I DO jump red lights on occasion. I say this not to annoy but to explain that I do this only when I consider it to be safe and is done without causing concern to drivers. When cycling around London I see others jump red lights and on almost all occasions (99.9%) I'd say it's done without causing concern to drivers as people don't jump reds and then close their eyes and pray they don't get hit.

Unlike drivers cyclists ARE aware of their vulnerability, whereas as a driver (and I vouch for this) I am not at all concerned with my vulnerability, although I personally am concerned about my car getting scratched or damaged.

I really don't see why cyclists have to jump red lights,I don't.

Is it just done because they can't be bothered to stop?

No wonder drivers hate us.
