Red-light runners? Good on the Plod.

I recommend the closed fist/stiff arm technique personally. Others claim that I'm old fashioned though...

I think it would be more satisfying, had you done it mistakenly to someone that had it coming of course.

I hear where you're coming from.

A huge advertising campaign would need to be undertaken first so that the potential victims (and hopefully the perpetrators) are aware of the change.

cripes, remember the continuing stuff up with the decision to enfore the roundabout rules? even the cops dont know when to indicate... i nearly get collected several times a week due to incorrect indicating. its got to the point where i normally now come to a full stop to ensure my own safety.

It is time for a reminder from the powers that be that red light running puts others at risk.

A charge of premeditated manslaughter should shock a few of the morons back to the real world.

I'm sick of getting a green and then spending 1/2 sec doing the check left/right action as there is almost invariable some ass doing the runner.

Either that or more right hand mirrors getting the vertical force treatment.....

If it's premeditated it's murder not manslaughter, yes? I don't for a second believe think that any of the red-light runners actually intend to cause a death. If a death does result I'm confident that a charge at the very least of "careless driving causing death would result" (and be richly deserved).

You should be doing this anyway. I have legitimately run a red light after hitting a patch of oil just short of the white line (this taught me to slow down earlier for a red). Had I tried to stop I would've slid into the side of the opposing car.
