  Looks like London will be next to allow them to run red lights despite regular fatalities.

  It would only be 'legalising' what most of them do already!

  Too many of them think that laws don't apply to them, not just running lights but racing at breakneck speed along pavements.

  What about the accidents these cyclists will cause? I suppose the poor motorists will get the blame if they are allowed to jump the lights legally
  
  I give up
  There's always a little truth behind every "Just kidding", a little emotion behind every "I don't care" and a little pain behind every "I'm ok".

  Going back over 30 years when I used to drive to and from work on a daily basis and they were a pain then. I lost count at the number of times I was at a set of lights on the Barking Road in East London, indicator telling people I would be turning left when the lights changed then get a lycra clad idiot overtake me on the inside as the lights changed and I moved off.
