Default Institutionalised law-breaking using bikes - anarchy is near at hand

On Sun, 17 Oct 2004 11:32:33 +0100 someone who may be "Just zis Guy,
you know?" wrote this:-

I have been stationary at a traffic light (on my bike) and had a BMW
drive round me and through the red light.


I have seen this happen too.

Even the threat of their own death does not deter some motorists.
Overtaking a queue of vehicles waiting at a level crossing and
driving onto the crossing is common enough not to be remarkable. It
is impossible to miss the alternately flashing red lights on a level
crossing, the only explanation is that the motorist considers their
journey more important that anything else. Perhaps they should have
number plates made up that read "SOD U". Perhaps they believe the
propaganda of car manufacturers about "safety features" of cars.

I will always explain revoked keys, unless the UK government
prevents me by using the RIP Act 2000.
