I still don't get it. Why does the LCC explain that only a small amount of accidents are caused by cyclists RLJing? Surely that is irrelevant and they should be encouraging cyclists to adhere to the rules of the road?
They could dress it up with any caveat that they liked... "Whilst virtually no injuries to cyclists are caused by jumping red lights we encourage cyclists to obey the rules of the road but also ask the police and mayor to focus their resources on issues that cause real danger to road users".
Isn't that sort of statement more likely to win ground?
