Still, at least there's nice easy ways to
identity and legally deal with the ones driving cars. But that's why you
think you can get away with it, isn't it? Would you be a "card-carrying
red light jumper" if you had a registration plate and licence to lose?
No, thought not. You're a typical bully - trying to hide your cowardice
behind a veneer of bluster.


Absolutely, I freely admit to taking full advantage of the fact that
as a cyclist I am virtually anonymous out on the street and why I may
attempt things on the bike that I would never do in my car. Yes, I do
want my cake and eat it. The day they shove a GPS enabled RFID up my
arse and scanners at every junction is the day I'll stop jumping
lights.

If ever there was a justification for cyclists being required to have number
plates, your attitude provides it. You flout the law because you can get
away with it and make it sound like a virtue that you are anonymous.


Great, give me the plate, give me the license, give me the piece of
paper. So next time some dick in a car tells me to get off the ****ing
road I can shove it in their face.

Your attitude is contemptible.


Thank you, one does try.
