Red light jumping by ‘professional’ driver

[@marcussmith6523]

It was amber when the bus crossed the line and a bus can't brake hard because of passengers stood up in the aisle.

@@marcussmith6523 Not the second line. The Highway Code says you should be ready to stop at traffic lights and that means not driving so fast you can’t.

[@marcussmith6523]

​@@QiuEnnanThe second stop line is the front of the bicycle box which is ahead of the vehicle stop line.
Amber was ok, a bus cant do quick stops.
Good to see Cyclists stopping at red.

@@marcussmith6523 That's not true - Rule 178 of The Highway Code says that if your vehicle has proceeded over the first white line at the time that the signal goes red, you should stop as soon as possible and *MUST* *stop* *at* *the* *second* *white* *line.*

@@QiuEnnan A bit confused, if you are over the first line and it goes red you must stop at the second? You would have to be doing about 2ks to be able to stop in that distance, 10 feet or so!
My problem is with the light sequence. The yellow is very brief and for the cross traffic there appears no delay for theirs going green immediately when red comes on.
In a previous reply you say "Not the second line" and then you highlight in bold "MUST stop at the second white line." A contradiction and isn't the second line the far end of the bike box?
But then I am descended from you rejects that were sent to the sunny climes.

@@hayloft3834 Yeah. The idea is you would have already been braking and you’d cross the first line on the amber light.
