arsebiscuits! Ran a red light

fucking fucking cunts!
fucking plods given me a FPN for running a red light in the cage, of course
the fact that if i'd stopped the arsehole right behind me would have smashed
into me had no effect on him whatsoever! ****. And by his own admission he
said he was three cars behind in the other fucking lane and no way had line
of sight!

****, i refused to sign the slip too. He was one of those cunts that you
could tell was loving it. Fucking bedfordshire plods. I am soooo tempted to
go to court on this too and plead admission but due to the fucker on my ass
and the accident i was in last year really didnt fancy getting in another
accident!
Prolly wouldnt wash though eh? :-(

Why? Did you know the person behind had worse brakes than you?

Did they run the lights, too?

What if someone had stepped off the kerb? Would you mow them down to
avoid an accident?

The lane of traffic i was in (i was about 6/7 cars back) were all
travelling through the lights already, prolly about 30mph when it happened.
I wasnt stationary and just decided to run a fucking light, im not a **** in
that sense for sure. The guy behind (who was far too close) would have had
to slam on his brakes, because i certainly would have had to.

I have no idea frankly, but i guess that the fact i did gave him an extra
cars length to stop, which he wouldn't have had if i'd slammed on the
anchors.

Isnt that an oxymoron? asides from being a stupid question?

If you were watching them that closely to be able to ascertain the latter,
you weren't concentrating enough on what was possibly about to step out /
pull across the front of you.

That, and the former and latter parts of that paragraph blatantly
conflict...

 

<snip>

Any idea what comes before red? It's a sort of warning light, to tell you
that the red light will come on... hint, it's also a girls name...

You've had enough time to stop, especially at that speed.

 

A week of being a total bitch normally.

I didn't have to be watching so closely that i was physically watching them
in the mirror all the time as i was moving forward.
Its called observation and being aware of other traffic. Granted that
conflicts with the offence but there it is ok?

Aye, there should be some sort of timeshare system really where you
only get them for two weeks out of every four.

 

The other guy was literally on my ass and i guess im a bit on the paranoid
side re traffic behind me, as i say as i dont particularly want to be in an
accident again so soon after coming off my scoot last year. I have also had
an accident, 3 or so years ago where someone /did/ rearend me which doesn't
help i suppose.
Oh, it's a bit of a **** to see the lights where they are in particular due
to the van that was in my line of sight too.

Don't want to sound too picky, but if you can't see the lights, you're too
close yourself.

I'm not one for blaming myself, but in this case I would have done...

 

You seriously think running red lights is going to help you avoid
accidents?

 

And keeping a towbar on the cage helps.

 

India is *really* bad for red light jumping.

If it's not your day to go then why let a little red light slow your
progress? Although I wish my taxi driver would have consulted his
passenger as to whether it was their day to go or not.

 

the cont known as Donegal Paul says...

FFS, you did wrong. Get over it.

He done badly wrong. Running a red light should be a hanging offence.

You *decided* to run a red light?

More fool you, and it's a result you got tugged for it. Had you mown
a bike down that had been quick off his green light crossing you, I'd
have burned your house down by now, having nailed the doors shut
first.

Poor obs, poor anticipation on your part. Lack of control of your
space on the road, on your part. Shite driving on both parts.

Did the following driver also run the light, then? And if so, did he
get a ticket too?

 

Donegal Paul struggled to ejaculate:

Big difference, see: you were in a car - you can't fall off a car.
And who was to blame for the scoot accident - well, who is being
prosecuted for it ... ?

Substantial lump of car, innit. All the arse end does is stop the
back lights dragging on the deck, innit. Fucking stand on it and the
driver behind takes the rap - not to mention the kingsize bumper in
the radiator.

So - you were approaching a hazard.
Your vision was obscured by other /moving/ traffic.
You had another vehicle behind you, you felt too close.

All you had to do was ease off, or even dab the brakes - at any time
when approaching the junction. If you had, you would have opened up
your angle of vision and the driver behind would perforce have
decelerated too. Once you had sufficient vision to proceed,
accelerate again and that puts a gap between you and the driver
behind. Simplicity itself - assert yourself, make your piece of road
/yours/ and you'd be a lot better off. It is all about control, see?

Or you can blunder about like a twat, being a danger to yourself, your
passengers and other road users.

Then when a problem occurs, you can squeal like a girly pig about how
it was all somebody else's fault - the van driver in front, the car
driver behind ... and let us not forget those cunts in blue that
nicked you for driving like a thoughtless twat who is patently
incapable of taking responsibility for his own actions and the
inevitable consequences thereof.

FFS grow up and take control - or get a fucking bus pass and we'll all
be a little safer as another Volvo driver bites the dust. Sounds like
you'll win a bus pass anyway - you know what points make, don't you?

 

I'm not entirely convinced you know what an oxymoron is; however of
stupid questions you have a fair bit of experience.

 

I honestly don't know many girls called Yellow.
