Ye I agree Barracks, I did think that actually if cyclists were given a law of their own instead of being lumped in with motor vehicles then fewer cyclists would feel the need to break the law. I admit that I do, on occasion, jump lights etc. but I feel the problem doesn't come from the breaking of the law but the unpredictability of which laws will be broken.

For example if cyclists were given the option to jump red lights, but in return had to carry some form of insurance. I think this would make cyclists safer and more predictable.

I don't think the UK is ready to invest in separate facilities at junctions!

For me the problem comes from the fact that I am neither a car or a pedestrian but I am just lumped in with motorists because it is the easy way out. I feel there are specific laws which cyclists can safely break and we should therefore get our own highway code section!
