Red light runner.

[KLOWN]

Red light running is obviously dangerous, however I find using the Give Way rule works good when commuting to and from work. I just don't want to sit at uncontrolled lights for minutes for no reason at all. THERES NO TRAFFIC!!! GO!!!

It saves me at least 10 minutes each day which gives me more time to post informative, educational posts on KB, like this one for example.

Red lights are for conformists.

its a bit like how red arrows are just for asians. ay

pfffft, I regularly see cars on the other side enter the intersection as it goes green for us. Indeed, the worst I have seen, it went green for us, and the fuckers just kept coming through, until I launched myself at them.

Ahhh, soo ... you must be in Chowick, Bucks or Eastern Beach

Tsk. And Tut. I cannot condone such a dangerous and anti social response to red lights

Why can't you do as I (and innumerable treadlies do). just pop up on the footpath for a moment, and hang a flat U tuirn in the cross street ? much more law abiding.

General duties cop was waiting at the intersection to turn right so i pointed and all the dude did was look resigned and shrug..

That's just wank. Why on earth wouldn't he do something ? No wonder there are cop bashing threads.

Just had a red light runner hit a car on the cnr Lichfield and Madras this morning. Now I have to get blood off my pants, bloody flesh bags cant handle a bit of an accident. And they had the audacity to thank me. PAH!

Yes, Madras is tough, not much of a view to look deep into Lichfield and the rest.

I was taught that if I was one of the first 2 or 3 cars at the lights I should keep the car in 1st with the clutch in and use the handbrake. Similar to the bike really (except use the rear brake).

I was taught to save the clutch, and the clutch cable. Also, to stay out of gear in case of getting shunted into opposing traffic. I had a clutch cable go ping on me once. Stuck in stop-go traffic on the way to Leuchars air show in Scotland. Old Ford Fiesta. AA man fixed it with a tie-wrap.

palmy is the capital of the red light runner. .

Agree in part with you Palmy drivers are shocking, but come to Whangarei ....seriously every controlled intersection i stop at i see red light runners all the time every day mate its beyond stupid up here. And if they aren't running the red then they're doing 70 and 80 in the 100 zone or 40 in the 50 zone......
