But it *is* against the law, and you *can* get run over.
I have personally had to sharply brake to avoid hitting cyclists who have ridden through red lights and who are not looking where they're going.
Even if you are sure it is safe *you are not allowed to do it* and if a cop calls you on it, you take the rap.
Chance it if you like - and I'll be the first to say I walk across pelican crossings when it is "safe" without waiting for the green man, but it's not as if I can complain if I get hit by a car, or told off by an authority figure when I'm caught doing something I shouldn't be.
Oh get a bit of perspective ffs. Cheeze.

Anyone being all sanctimonious about this is probbly secretly hiding disgusting and horrific crimes they've committed themselves...
That copper is, for sure. Look at his face. Guilty as anything.
This crap about it being dangerous and putting other road users in danger is just completely moronic
whilst I get your point that you can do its safely [or more dagerously] it is always more dangerous than waiting as vehicles crossing you have right of way I dont think ithelps motorists to be respectful of cyclists. I tend not to do this bit only have tow and they are quite busy on my commute
i can probably find out who that **** is in the video.
the STW equivalent of the legal world. seriously, these things don't stay quiet for very long. If you think he's being made a fool of here, he will be positively destroyed over there
Me thinks the RLJ is wishing the internet would dissapear up a large cavernous hole right now 😀 regrets I've had a few....
