On a side note, I think cyclists who blatantly ignore red lights and cycle right through should be fined massively. Every time I'm waiting in my car at a red light, and I see some ******** cyclist casually cycle right through without so much as showing any hesitance, I actually pray that a big lorry or something comes along and turns them to paste.
So much vitirol towards cyclists. Obviously, you don't like the fact that they are getting a headstart on the traffic lights over you. Tough.
I don't condone the light jumping. I myself am a cyclist and motorcyclist and have always obeyed the rules, however, getting yourself angry like that isnt going to change anything. I can well imagine you getting road rage, which isn't a good thing.
If you want to jump lights, then I suggest you buy a bicycle and do the same.
+1 again. I see that almost DAILY. And they always get away with it. Extremely irritating.
One of the moments you wish your car had a 30mm radar-guided cannon sticking out of the sunroof.
Again, I think this is going too far. They are breaking the law, but are not hurting anyone. All they are doing is irritating you over the fact that they are getting a headstart at traffic lights, on your car. I suggest you get a bicycle and jump some lights and hopefully it will ease your irritation; just make sure you do it on quiet roads and not on big junctions.
Another method of getting through traffic faster is by using a motorbike. This is the sole reason why I decided to only learn to ride motorbikes and not cars. Coming from a cycling background, I would find it very frustrating sitting in traffic jams, when as a cyclist or motorcyclist, you can just filter through traffic.
What really irritates me is car drivers who use their big cars to travel 4 miles. That is plain ridiculous.
On topic: Road tax for cyclists - NO WAY.
