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

Look at these cunts . . makes my blood boil, fucking peds ignoring the toucan and walking outside the boundry!!

That's Mirius in the orange, taking details of those 'criminals'.

Fail.

That crossing is a Toucan (if it was in the UK), so no reason to be taking details.

Is this the S or the M bit? Maybe you're multi-tasking...

Actually you fail - look at the caption accompanying the pic . . .

Someone would've been doing us all a favour if they'd run them down just after 'Revolver' was recorded.

Fair enough Ed, you've got more recent case law
1980? Where are you finding your caselaw then?

I was so disappointed to arrive in a thread that was descending into a debate about the law and find that someone had already posted caselaw! Bah.

coleslaw?

What a fucked thread.

More recent?

It's a judgement from 1980, that's nigh on 30 years old. What case law were you referencing?

What The LOL have I ROFL Now....

In case anyone was after some more advice along these lines...

Do you make a habit of walking out over zebras before checking that the traffic is actually stopping? If yes, then you are going to get hit sooner or later because law and reality are not the same.

...I got some similar offerings from the internet:

*MOTORISTS: When going through a speed camera, flash your lights twice quickly and watch the driver in front hit his brakes when he thinks he's been caught.

*[I]CYCLISTS: Avoid getting a sore behind by simply placing a naan bread over your saddle. This will comfort your ride and when you return home, hey presto! A warm snack.[/I]

[I]GAMBLERS: For a new gambling opportunity, try sending £50 to yourself by Royal Mail.[/I]

EMPLOYERS: Avoid hiring unlucky people by immediately tossing half the CVs into the bin.

[I]MEN: When listening to your favourite CD, simply turn up the sound to the volume you desire - then turn it down three notches. This saves your wife having to do it.[/I]

DRIVERS: Avoid getting prosecuted for using your phone while driving. Simply pop your mobile inside a large shell and the police will think you are listening to the sea.

[I]BANGING two pistachio nut shells together gives the' impression a very small horse' is approaching.[/I]

DRIVERS: If a car breaks down or stalls in front of you, beep your horn and wave your arms frantically. This should help the car start and send them on their way.

CAR THIEVES: Don't be discouraged if nothing is on view. The valuables may be hidden in the glove box or under a seat.

[I]SINGLE MEN: Convince people you have a girlfriend by standing outside Topshop with bags of shopping, looking at your watch and occasionally glancing inside.[/I]

MICRA DRIVERS: Attach a lighted sparkler to the roof of your car before starting a long journey. You drive the thing like a sodding dodgem car anyway.

• 
  SINGLE MEN: Get a glimpse of married life by taping Woman's Hour on Radio 4, then playing it back at a higher volume than the TV while trying to watch something on Discovery Wings.*
  
  

BOIL an egg to perfection without costly egg timers by popping it into boiling water and driving away from your home at exactly 60mph. After three miles, phone your wife to take the egg out the pan.

[I]SHOPPERS: Take one grape to the till. It won't register on the low-tech, insensitive scales so you will get it for free. Repeat this procedure 100 times or so and you have yourself a free bunch of grapes.[/I]

WHEN visiting a motorway service station for a cup of tea and a slice of cake, make sure you arrange your bank loan or second mortgage before you get to the tills, saving time and embarrassment.
[I]PHILANDERERS: Avoid the embarrassment of shouting out the wrong name in bed by having flings only with girls who have the same name as your wife.[/I]

haha

Are you not a pedestrian whilst pushing your bike?

Strictly speaking, no, but only a complete pedant would insist on this. As for using a ped crossing, if it's safe, and you are not inconveniencing anyone, then why not? The OP sounds like the sort of person that doesn't stop for peds when turning from a major road into a minor road.

Basically the only rule for cycling is getting from a to b safely in the shortest time possible. If you jump every red regardless of oncoming traffic you're a twat and will be hit by a car eventually, and if you wait at every red don't expect your mates to wait for you. Simple. Back home they're closing in on cyclist running reds (because they got nothing better to do) and my courier mate's got a $1000 suspended fine set to drop on his he'd if he gets done again. Considering our peak hour is like a Sunday arvo in London I think it's pretty rough...

Last time I got stopped for jumping a red light I was asked why they did not apply to me.

This evening I saw police motorbike bx109 asv jump a red light for no reason on tottenham court road. I asked his buddy why he'd jumped it (as he had not) and was told to piss off. I then caught up with the offender asked wh he had jumped the light when he was not sounding his siren or flashing his lights and was again told to piss off.

Next time po po stop me I will cite this instance as to why he lights don't matter to me.

you really are a cad

You get their badge numbers?

quick, tell the daily mail!
