See, this is why I shouldn't get vitriolic on here...
...partly because it puts a pall on my day but more in this case because I've almost come to blows with some red-light-running tit who, yes, sailed past me whilst I was waiting for the green at one such road safety device. Only thing that stopped us was the lights changing.

I'm going to change my signature line to 'If I get nasty, remind me that I vowed not to'.

Apologies all, and especially to V. I stand by my opinions (those being in a nutshell "It's not all of us" on cyclists being twats and "Didn't I just say that?" on the licencing/taxation/insurance thing), but getting personal was unnecessary, not to mention the resulting effect on my equilibrium could well have gotten me, this other guy or both of us pasted/arrested on my way home.

Not a good show from me on this one. I mean to do better.
