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

A cyclist is more likely to be killed by a motor vehicle rljing than kill anyone by rljing:

Figures from the London Accident Analysis Unit over the five-year period 2001-05, show that there were:

2 cyclists who died while jumping red lights:
7 motorbikers died jumping red lights (one of these collisions also killed a car driver);
3 cyclists were killed by drivers jumping red lights;
7 pedestrians were killed by drivers jumping red lights;
7 people (drivers or passengers) were killed in collisions between two motor vehicles (excluding motorbikes), at least one of which was jumping a red light.

It's not only daft to pretend cyclists rljing is the same as drivers speeding, it's not very sensible to compare cyclings rljing with drivers doing the same.

It's just really tiresome that a stupid survey will reinforce prejudice against cyclists, if someone published a survey that "proved" that 57% of Jewish people shoplift they'd be in trouble.
