ema65 - your opinion is pants. Running red lights to prevent an imminent collision is good driving - end of.

A couple of cars crashed on the Bostal Road in Steyning on Monday. Staggeringly stupid - it's one of the steepest roads in Sussex at 17%. Why anyone would even considering driving on it is beyond me.*
*I thought as I pedalled past. ;o)

Red light cameras only go off if you're about 2 seconds late - 2 seconds is a LONG time at driving speeds, you'd deserve to be 'ad!
Got to agree though, shifting out of the way to avoid a rear-end makes sense, but I'm not sure theres a need to run the light completely and certainly you'd be booked for it regardless of cause if the police saw you.

BTW - my definition of running a red light is passing the stop line.....

emac65 - you do know that you only need to stop for red lights when it is safe to do so don't you?
Presumably the lights went to amber when you were still a distance from the line, so you could have started smoothly braking before then? You should drive slower and elave a bigger gap ahead of your vehicle if someone's tailgating you, so i can't see when you would ever *have* to go through a red.

Well why didn't you say that?
Crossing the line is hardly running a red light....My better half works in traffic btw
Rudeboy so was I

Which is slightly different to how the offence is described which is described as:
'The offence is committed if "any part" of the vehicle crosses the stop line when the red light is showing.'Do you make your own laws up for everything?

You lot fall for it every time
Smee = Glupton and he is always deliberately vague on his statements, usually to promote folk to make assumptions. Guess he is writing an essay on it again...

Really, or maybe he makes a fool out of himself then tries to make out it was a wind-up & everyone fell for it.

Miketualy - No I had stopped at the lights, but noticed a car coming up behind me that would not have been able to stop which appreciated, and used, the extra space.
Emac - my missus is a physio - doesn't mean that I know much about her specialist area of expertise.
PDF - which is what I said - just worded differently.
Stu - Not writing an essay, just sitting another test shortly....
