When are motorists going to learn the difference between🔴 Red and🟢 Green🚦?

To those pointing out that cyclists do it. Yes, we know that, it’s pretty much all you bang on about, along with tax, licences and number plates. What is rarely mentioned is how much motorists do it.

I'm always worried I'll stop on a borderline red and someone will slam into the back of me. Even worse for zebra crossings.

That is a valid concern, and in some scenarios I will continue through an amber which I could stop at if someone is too close.

Contrary to what a lot of drivers on hear often assert about motorist red-light jumping, quite a lot of the incidents recorded here are not even in "dark yellow" territory. They're breaking the lights several seconds after they've gone red.

Maybe the problem is that after 14 years of Conservative government there are so few police officers policing our driving that the chance of any driver or cyclist being stopped and charged is minimal so red light jumping becomes endemic?

Hard to disagree with that.

If every traffic light had a camera on it and all of the road users that went through a red light were prosecuted (a fine and points on your licence), we would all learn to stop at red lights. Currently, people jump red lights and get away with it.

Red light camera's are needed.

@CyclingBham Key points ° Drivers are more likely to jump lights than cyclists ° even with less opportunity ° the negative impact is far greater ° it's rarely mentioned, but many people never shut up about the low impact and incidence of cyclists doing it 1 group kills the other merely annoys

All the footballwankers, the toxic cabbies, the whatabouterists, the transport conspiracy theorists, and nonce auditors, coming on here to post bollocks about false equivalencies. Love it. Losers.

The MAJORITY of those drivers increased their speed to 'beat' the lights. Funny though because quite possibly one or more of those drivers have had a dig at a cyclist for creeping through a red light at one time or another.

shocking how many u see jump red. had one just the other day go around me when i stopped, had plenty of time to stop also

When will cyclists?

The day after motorists

It’s cyclists that don’t respect the Highway Code far more than motorists. Especially red lights.

Considering that 80% of motorists go faster than 20mph in 20mph zones, that is an incorrect statement you have made.

Frucking driverists, think the law does not apply to them, no wonder everyone hates them.

Them flashing lights are getting stupid on bikes now to the point it's dangerous, if you lot want to dazzle me my full beams are going on !!

...all part of the ongoing war against motortwats

When cyclists learn the same rules

That will be the day after motorists

Cyclists will still ignore them

So, it's not just in my city/country then...

Around the same time as cyclists. Guess.

I came here for the comments 🍿.

Whilst I agree some drivers jump red lights, some of your examples, particularly the bus one as the lights change, its clear the bus is close to the light to stop safely so the driver is right to continue as he is unable to stop in time. I was taught this when learning to drive.

The amber phase is long enough that they can react. That is what the phase is for.

Don't get me wrong though, in most of your examples, they're clearly jumping a red...but in 3 or 4, I'd side with the driver......if you're approaching a changing light and you're too close to be able to stop safely, you continue....as I was taught...that's all I'm saying.

Might want to brush up on the law.

I just have Google it and found this.......as I said.....if its not safe to stop as it may cause an accident....you continue

If amber, not if red. Red means stop. If it was unsafe to continue when red, then you were not driving within the law or to the conditions before.

Now you're just picking on the poor colour blind motorists. Just because they can only see in black and white because of the fog from their exhaust pipes.

I've got a zinger of a comeback. Are you ready for it? Here it comes : wHeN cyclist dO

The same day cyclists do too? 🤔

Yellow going on red I'm not arsed. When it's red and you're even approaching the box and you go through it, that's naughty

About the same time as cyclists realise the colour red exists at all

I understand that nobody really wants traffic lights hanging in the middle of intersection, but placing them in the middle of the street does have a serious impact on people abiding by them.

Usually its cyclists who get that wrong.

When are you going to learn to judge people as individuals rather than negatively stereotype them by the mode of transport they are using at a particular time to reinforce your own prejudices?

Why everyone else does.

Be better than them. Lead the way. Talk about the individual idiot motorist/cyclist/pedestrian/astronaut. Stereotyping by transport guarantees a lost argument. Discriminating against a mode of transport is absolutely idiotic.

When are cyclists going to learn the difference between 🔴 & 🟢 ??

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Pot calls kettle black!

On my daily commute I find cyclists running red lights constantly. Very rare for cars. Most lights have red light cameras now that pick up cars but not cyclists. Maybe it’s just a London thing

id be interested to know when cyclists will. each one in your video also crashed the lights

You are a case of pot calling the kettle black. I saw just as many cyclist doing exactly the same thing as the car drivers. It is many years since I rode a bike. I wouldn’t ride a bike on those roads even if you paid me. I wouldn’t drive a car on those roads either.

And the cyclists too 👍 In fact all road users
