Default Cyclists allowed to run red lights?

Marz gurgled happily, sounding much like they
were saying:

Yes, but in my twisted brain I've differentiated between jumping a busy
red light (no no)


****ed-off pedestrian "accidentally" can't get out of your way in time.

and a quiet one (go go)


No pedestrian to get ****ed-off at you.

Simple, huh?

Doesn't make me right, just gets me to a point where I don't care what
you think.


That much is clear.

So is this a uniquely bicycle set of affairs, or are you quite happy for
other vehicles to ignore red lights that don't suit them, too?

But a cyclist jumping a red light is not aiming for you, but the gap
between and the next person.


Thought you only did it on clear junctions? Or are you psychic, and able
to divine the intentions of every other cyclist on the roads?
