So, the idea is that this allows cyclists to move off before
lorries and thus not get trapped/killed when they move off and
turn left.


Cyclists have been running red lights for years. This'll just mean
they'll be allowed to in law, so they won't have to snarl and yell
at pedestrians who attempt to cross the road when the green man is
showing.

I'm a cyclist, but am more than willing to shoulder charge any
cyclist who cycles across a crossing while I have the green man.

Risky, I'm 16 stone and I average 20-21mph on the road. You don't want
to shoulder charge me mate!


If he's 23 stone then you should end up on the floor, with any luck.
