niterider Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted this reply to the website editor: Saw your post at http://www.2oceansvibe.com/cyclists-red-lights.htm and thought I should give my opinion, as a motorist and as a cyclist (and a scooterist). Yes, its illegal to ride through red traffic lights. Yes, most any cyclist confronted about it whilst riding is likely to look at you funny. Yes, it might give some kids the wrong impression. But. A very big but. Wake up! Do you not also see taxi's running red lights almost daily? Do you not see cars stopping over the pedestrian lines at traffic lights (also illegal)? Do you not see motorists exceeding the speed limit nearly every day, possibly more exceeding it than obeying it?? Realise that the majority of cyclists are also motorists. As cyclists we practice the same respect for the law that we do as motorists, and its very simple: (1) Do I feel safe breaking the law in the manner I'm doing, and (2) do I feel I'm going to be caught by someone who could slap me with a fine? On (1): Mostly yes, although some cyclists (and motorists) definition of safe is questionable, or in some cases down-right stupid. On (2): Not a chance - law enforcement? Don't be silly! So get off your high-horse and put your "who the f**k" attitude back where it came from. These people (cyclists) don\'t treat the traffic laws the way they do because they're cyclists, they do it because its the way we (South Africans) respect the traffic laws. Idiot motorists on a bicycle become idiot cyclists. The bicycle doesn't make them the idiot. And yes, I will run a red light when I think it is safe to do so (usually a T-junction), and yes I exceed the speed limit in my car when I think it is safe to do so (usually empty roads). And what will the kids think of your poor language? And his response: Hey Nick. Enjoyed your comments. Good argument. Thanks for the support.

Jason Posted January 22, 2008 Share One day michelle is gonna start a sad topic with your name mentioned in the contents and guess who's not gonna have any sympathy. PS. I'm leaving the smiley face of this one on purpose....yup and at least I'll go doing something I love...cycling... and guess what? A traffic light won't be the cause, it will be some taxi or whatever that did 180kph in the yellow lane. I've been knocked off my bike before and that at 17:30 while in the yellow lane, all the lady said was...

Reg Lizard Posted January 22, 2008 Share I never denied it. I said we went through the lights' date=' but I am ashamed we did. I usually try to stop at the lights on my commute and my mates know I am going to stop (even if they don't!), so it ends up being a traffic lightr sprint to catch up, but it makes me stronger. Like I said, we are in the wrong, but unable to accept it or change our behaviour.[/quote'] Guilty as charge your honor, but just maybe there was mitigating circumstances Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/12215-cyclists-and-red-traffic-lights/page/5/#findComment-235268 Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnfitnessFreak Posted January 23, 2008 Share hmmmm. I've just checked out that site, run by Seth Rotheringham, which is at best boring. But of interest was this video in the 'about' section. The man appears to be retarded. And somewhat arrogant. Possibly homosexual.
