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

I'm not trying to counter your argument as its pointless and self serving.

You may feel comfortable defending your own actions by comparing them to something completely different, and I commend you for your faith in yourself, but I suggest that the "look over there- that's worse!" approach to justification is a precarious one to rely on.

What actions do you suppose I get up to?

And failing to connect with my argument is simply admitting yours is wrong. I havn't really made any direct statement about what cycling behave we should expect to see. I am only saying that trying to assert a moral equivalence between speeding motorists and RLJ cyclists is falacious.

At the very start I stated I wasn't acting in defence of RLJ cyclists, my own take on it is that picking and choosing which laws we abide by is a dodgy way to go about things. However cycling and driving a car are fundamentally different acts with regards to dangers to society and as such breaches of the law by the two parties can be treated differently without condoning either.
