Default Cyclists allowed to run red lights?

I'd prefer there weren't any. Still, at least there's nice easy ways to
identity and legally deal with the ones driving cars. But that's why you


Yeah, which work *so* well that surveys of red light jumping don't
even bother to count anyone going through on amber or in the first three
seconds of red, because "everyone does that"

And even then, the cameras only get RLJ and speeding. The more general
offences of "driving like a wazzock", "driving like a complete tit",
"driving like an utterly selfish *******" go largely unremarked and
almost entirely unprosecuted. Assuming the goal is to improve standards
of road use (rather than e.g. to appease the Daily Mail reader) I really
can't see that registration plates on bikes is really going to have that
much effect.
