Deadline Couriers jumps red light KU54HHW KU54 HHW

http://www.deadline.co.uk/

This courier driver jumps three red lights that I observed, as well as driving impatiently and poorly. The funny thing is that he was no faster than my bicycle, we were in the same rough region of traffic from New Cross to Victoria IIRC.

I thought I was gonna be pancake in the second one!!

I was curious, does the bike you use have any benefits as opposed to using a normal, upright bicycle?

[CyclingMikey]

@spscotto It does, the advantages are that it's more comfortable and much faster/less effort on the flat and downhill. It's a little bit slower on uphills, and it's not so good at ducking and diving through standing traffic. Perfect for my long flattish commute that's largely against rush hour.

@CyclingMikey thanks for the quick response, it was really on my mind for a long time lol

[CyclingMikey]

@spscotto Have you seen "A pointless overtake" video from my channel? That should show the aerodynamic advantage nicely.

[spscotto]

@CyclingMikey I just did. Jesus, you really haul ass in that thing!

@ALROCO12345 Thanks, no crashes or collisions yet. Actually, that's not quite true, I've come off once or twice on my ownsome. There's one video up somewhere in Jan/Feb I think, on Catford gyratory.

@CyclingMikey ok, like i said i couldn't make it out from the video. Keep up the good work but obviously i hope you stay safe. Have you ever got hit or properly cut up that have knocked you of or is it mainly just idiots trying to overtake when its clearly pointless because I get a lot of that. Only once I have got cut up and I took evasive action into a dustbin. LOL Oh and i had to hit a Land Rover as he nearly pushed me into another car but he soon got back into his lane. He just didn't see me

[CyclingMikey]

@ALROCO12345 Yes, that's almost right - you can only cross the first stop line on orange, and be within the box if the light turns red before you cross the second line. The light was red before he crossed the first stop line so an absolute red light jump. Not one I'd normally bother with though, I only commented as it shows his general disrespect for red lights with the other two reds he ran.

[ALROCO12345]

@CyclingMikey I have seen many of your videos and makes me want to get a camera because some of things I see in Bristol would rival some of this. Just one thing stopping in the cycling box is not actually wrong , if they can't stop by the first line they are still meant to stop for the second line. I can't tell from the video if he could have stopped before but the stopping in the box is not especially wrong just depends why he has stopped in it. Doesn't really matter like you say.

Don't you fear that some car may rip your hand off when you put it out like this? I as a cyclist would be afraid. That's why I lift my hand up so that no one can hit it.
