Well said xiphon.
The bottom line for all you RLJ-ers is that it is not big or clever to jump them. We are road users and as such should abide by the rules of the road. We may not see the sense of a red light or feel that there's nothing coming so we can take a chance. Fair enough, that's your choice. But just because you do it and because lots of people do it does not in any way make it right or legal. Have I ever jumped a red ligt? Sure, but not many and generally these days don't. My life is not ruined by the extra couple of minutes I have had to wait for the lights to change.
How would you feel as a cyclist if you are crossing a junction and a car jumps his/her red light and hits you? Presumably you will be less than impressed. So why is it not ok for him/her to jump the light but it's fine for you?
regrets I've had a few....
