A few months ago I saw what this can lead to. A lycra clad cyclist went

It doesn't excuse bad behaviour like that but its interesting you have
to delve back several months to come up with an example,

I'd have to delve back even further for an example of a car accident I've
seen, although I'm sure many have happened since.

which, knowing
the complex junction to turn into Whitehall from Trafalgar Sq is rather
improbable.

Maybe improbable, but true.

I am sure the London cycling contingent can give you daily
examples of cyclists becoming the victims of bad driving and pedestrians
stepping out without looking.

FWIW 30mph seems to be the norm for all traffic round other parts of
Trafalgar square when it gets the opportunity.

Does that include going through red lights without even a pretence of
braking?
