splat Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 Wow, imagine taking that much time to video, edit and then post that clip just to show cyclists skipping red lights on Beach Road. He would fill DAYS with footage of cars and taxis doing that on Main and Regent rd (one block up). And people are actually in danger.I work in the area, so know it well.

splat Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 that's 'whataboutery' irrelevant.I am not saying that skipping lights is OK or to distract anyone's attention from it.I am just amazed at the effort this person has gone to make a thing of it.
NelAndre Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 Yip, we are not making any friends riding like that. Pity.
Da Vinci Posted March 7, 2017 Author Posted March 7, 2017 The way I see it is that - a car or taxi doing it runs the risk of being caught and fined as their info can be traced. A cyclist is a bit more secure in their anonymity on the road - no consequences for breaking the law (or being an ass). Except they tick off other road users and now all cyclists are evil and don't care.... this video proves otherwise. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Mamil Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 Looks like a 50. 50 split, those that behave and those that don't. Cars it's probably closer to 90 percent behave and 10 don't. It is indefensible.
Pieter1 Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 I see many walkers, joggers and even a lady with a pram going through the red light. Seems Capetonians have lost the plot. What a lawless province. I hope people do not asociate South Africa with that poo poo province. Please DA rectify this once proud place.
rock Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 that attempted 'track stand' at 1m13 was awful, should not have received a green tick.
Pieter1 Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 However I fear it seems to be to late for the DA to do anything. Cry the beloved province.
Eldron Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 Yup. Cyclists break the law then cry foul. Motorists break the law then cry foul. Truckers break the law then cry foul.Motorbikers break the law then cry foul. Hmmmm I wonder what the common theme is.....
