Heres the rule:
lorry smashes into car=lorry driver in the wrong, car with cyclist= car driver in wrong, cyclist in accident with pedestrian = cyclist in the wrong. I turn left at red lights, go over pedestrian crossings when no one is about and cycle with the left head phone in all the time... if it's safe I do it. Pedestrians walk across in front of me when my light is green all the time, and I don't feel the need to punch them in the face, I just check it's safe behind me and dodge them. People who suggest that cyclists should have the same restrictions placed on them as car drivers need to spend some time reviewing the stats on death on the roads. Amazed every time how the word cyclist is able to bring the simpletons out of the woodwork.
