More often than not when I'm sitting at a red light (on my bike) I'm the only one - all the other bikes have sailed on through.
Does so much damage to our reputation and our case for more considerate drivers IMO. But usually i just let it pass. After all if these people understood the impact/risk, they wouldn't have done it.
But today I didn't feel like keeping quiet when some guy just filtered up the left hand lane of traffic and sailed on through. I shouted 'red light' at him but got no response. Lights changed shortly after and when I caught up with him I just said 'you just went through a red light there'. Nothing aggressive, judgemental or insulting. His reply? '**** off'. I was riding faster so just shouted over my shoulder 'Why, it's illegal?' and left him to it. Got to another junction with a red light onto a main road (Old Kent Road) and he just sailed on through again. So clearly me getting involved gained nothing...
Now I know it comes across as a bit arrogant to point out to someone they've gone through a red light - he knew full well what he'd done, just didn't care - and can kindof see why he told me to FO.
Anyone else got involved with RLJ? Is it worth it or just shrug and accept some people are just morons, even if it does make cyclists look like a bunch of arrogant idiots???

I thought it, but didnt dare admit it on here
