Eventually you notice that every single day you go out, someone is harassing you, putting you in danger, or trying to steal your bike. I realised I was only putting myself at a disadvantage, by behaving like a sheep in a world filled with rabid chihuahuas. One day you might go through a similar process, and stop being such a goody two shoes.

      MylesPluss There also isn't anything that says you can't cross them to 'beat the traffic'.
      The rule here is you can't cross the white lines to pass traffic that is moving faster than 10mph.
      There is nothing about filtering and I didn't cross the lines ;) also i think the traffic is doing less than 10mph.

    • @CycleGaz
      @CycleGaz  9 років тому +6

      ***** "you MUST NOT cross or straddle it unless it is safe" I think that is pretty clear.
      Lets not forget the fact that I didn't actually cross the double white lines.

    • @CycleGaz
      @CycleGaz  9 років тому +3

      ***** If you want to go deeper then I would read the legislation behind it, it adds more to the highway code and is what would actually be used in a court of law. Note that there are more situations than those in the highway code.
      The legislation states " every vehicle proceeding on any length of road along which the marking has been so placed that, as viewed in the direction of travel of the vehicle, a continuous line is on the left of a broken line or of another continuous line, shall be so driven as to keep the first-mentioned continuous line on the right hand or off side of the vehicle." the continuous line must stay on the right side of your vehicle. This leads us to the point that double whites used in this fashion actually have no legislation behind them and as such are not the same as the usual double whites that we see separating two opposing lanes of traffic.
      Lets again, not forget the point that I did not cross the white lines.
      I cycle this route every day, and regularly filter through the whole section because the traffic is stand still. I'll take the lane when it is appropriate to do so. Your position on the road must be flexible to the conditions that you are riding in.

      I disagree as not all cyclists commit violations of the Road Traffic Act but the percentage that do by cycling on pavements where it is not a cycle route, not obeying other traffic regulations such as "skipping" red lights, etc is probably the highest out of all road users but the least enforced due to the fact they are more difficult to prove guilty due to not having a identifiable item like a visible registration plate and that has caused them to be complacent and think the RTA doesn't apply to them.

      @Advanced Driving Best you read Rule 109, and the reference to the images on page 102 Traffic Light Signals in the Highway code.
      RED means STOP. Wait behind the stop line on the carriageway.
      RED & AMBER also means STOP. Do not pass through or start until GREEN shows.
      GREEN means you may go on if the way is clear. Take special care if you intend to turn left or right and give way to pedestrians who are crossing.
      AMBER means STOP at the stop line. You may go on only if the AMBER appears after you have crossed the stop line or are so close to it that to pull up may cause an accident.

      You need to re-read the highway code, rule 175.

Looking at Gaz's speed and position when the lights changed to Amber he should have stopped.

    • @kilimadalin
      @kilimadalin 5 років тому +1

      hard breaking on a bike in traffic when you don't really need to is like very dangerous 'cause a car can rear end you and take you on his hood (knowing that bike don't have brake lights and a lot of drivers don't know what safety distance is and some of them might accelerate when they see the traffic light turn yellow).
      For exemple:
      when i stop at an crosswalk i go next to the sidewalk before i break so in case a driver behind me is not paying attention it won't rear end me (or at least he can do a slight turn to avoid me without getting on the 2nd lane).
      But if it happens to me to see a pedestrian that is already on the sidewalk (crossing from the other sidewalk toward my lane) when i'm less than 5 meters from the crosswalk there are 2 things that i can do:
      1. if i don't have time to pass and there is the risk to hit the pedestian i brake as hard i can
      2. if they are still 1 lane apart and i have time to pass with out any risk for me or pedestian i just pass (will saing "sorry" to pedestrian). It is illegal but is better than exposing me to the risk of being hit by a car behind me
      tl:dr : he didn't put anyone at risk by passing on the yellow light but he might been rear ended if he suddently brake

    No? I wonder why.
    I've been alive 6 decades ,and I've only seen a wpc shout out the window of the patrol car to a cyclist to stop riding on the pavement ONCE.
    Yes,I know this was a red light,and my example is a pavement, but both acts are illegal, on a non cycle path.

      Motorists kill and seriously injure more pedestrians at red traffic lights and on the pavement than cyclists.
      As such, the police focus their energy on the bigger danger.
