Default Cyclists allowed to run red lights?

lights you see that are in the process of changing, whilst you've got a
police car following you, feel free to just blat through as they're very
nicely orange. Don't forget to ask the nice officers to make sure they
charge you, because you want to clarify the law.


If, as you claimed earlier, going through the lights on amber is not an
offence, what exactly do you expect them to charge him with?

Calling them a bunch of
"jumped-up fascist bullyboys" should help persuade them, especially if
you crap in their hats whilst doing so.


Except maybe a public order offence, but I can't see that being
particularly relevant
