Hi Gaz, just wondering at 0:10 you were filtering on a double white line, is this allowed? Thanks mate.

[@CycleGaz]

Yeah, look up the rules of double whites, perfectly fine in some situations, this being one.

[@MylesPluss]

***** I had a look and couldn't find anything that says you can cross then just to beat the traffic, my apologies if I'm wrong but could you point it out to me (I'm not trying to be pedantic, sorry)

[@CycleGaz]

MylesPluss There also isn't anything that says you can't cross them to 'beat the traffic'. The rule here is you can't cross the white lines to pass traffic that is moving faster than 10mph. There is nothing about filtering and I didn't cross the lines ;) also i think the traffic is doing less than 10mph.

[@CycleGaz]

***** "you MUST NOT cross or straddle it unless it is safe" I think that is pretty clear. Lets not forget the fact that I didn't actually cross the double white lines.

[@CycleGaz]

***** If you want to go deeper then I would read the legislation behind it, it adds more to the highway code and is what would actually be used in a court of law. Note that there are more situations than those in the highway code. The legislation states " every vehicle proceeding on any length of road along which the marking has been so placed that, as viewed in the direction of travel of the vehicle, a continuous line is on the left of a broken line or of another continuous line, shall be so driven as to keep the first-mentioned continuous line on the right hand or off side of the vehicle." the continuous line must stay on the right side of your vehicle. This leads us to the point that double whites used in this fashion actually have no legislation behind them and as such are not the same as the usual double whites that we see separating two opposing lanes of traffic. Lets again, not forget the point that I did not cross the white lines. I cycle this route every day, and regularly filter through the whole section because the traffic is stand still. I'll take the lane when it is appropriate to do so. Your position on the road must be flexible to the conditions that you are riding in.

[@cuddlybear_uk]

I disagree as not all cyclists commit violations of the Road Traffic Act but the percentage that do by cycling on pavements where it is not a cycle route, not obeying other traffic regulations such as "skipping" red lights, etc is probably the highest out of all road users but the least enforced due to the fact they are more difficult to prove guilty due to not having a identifiable item like a visible registration plate and that has caused them to be complacent and think the RTA doesn't apply to them.

@Advanced Driving Best you read Rule 109, and the reference to the images on page 102 Traffic Light Signals in the Highway code. RED means STOP. Wait behind the stop line on the carriageway. RED & AMBER also means STOP. Do not pass through or start until GREEN shows. GREEN means you may go on if the way is clear. Take special care if you intend to turn left or right and give way to pedestrians who are crossing. AMBER means STOP at the stop line.

If they want bikes to be seen as valid vehicles, they need to obey the laws of the road too.

[@hardcoretam]

90% of the drivers i encounter on the roads don't even obey the laws. Speeding, double yellow lines, jumping red lights, using mobiles etc

[@The_Gallowglass]

The proper way. F-ck their laws. They're for making money for the municipalities not for safety.@@hardcoretam

[@mollymalone7081]

You ran a green light, and the camera footage you have shows this

[@Hazed64]

The footage clearly shows a red

[@hasan_z]

Nah he crossed in amber. if you look at 0:30 it changes from green to amber before he reaches the lights then it changes from amber to red at 0:33 by which time he has already passed the initial lights and therefore clear I don't get how you can't see this when you can pause/rewind/slow down footage

[@WellingtonBikeCam01]

≈10% of drivers using phones... And this is what they allocate police resources to???

[@hellcatdwe]

The law applies to cyclists as much as any other road user. Glad to see the police taking action.

[@keithjames.9914]

So cyclists should be allowed to go through red lights because the police don't manage to catch every car driver that uses their phone while driving. Yes of course , makes perfect sense.

[@WellingtonBikeCam01]

Look up "Idaho Stop", and you'll learn why cyclists should be allowed to go through red lights.

Lane splitting?!

[@PedalPapa]

This would never ever happen here in Toronto. I cannot even imagine a cop radioing ahead to another, unless it was a sting at a particular red light. Wow.

[@Keepingitrespectfulmostly.]

More moronic cyclists trying to fit in the gaps in between traffic that should be left as gaps... they never learn.. Dying to ride.. yeah that's about right.. Motorised and non motorised modes of transport will never gel and the people who are more protected will always win..

[@TheStevenWhiting]

0:32 jumped the orange light. You had plenty of time to stop considering they mean "Get ready to stop" :) nit picking.

[@YeNZeC]

Orange means get ready to stop.... if you can pass before hand, go ahead.

[@MsOpportunity68]

You need to re-read the highway code, rule 175. Amber actually means stop under the current highway code unless you have already passed the stop line or are so close that to stop might cause a collision. Looking at Gaz's speed and position when the lights changed to Amber he should have stopped.

[@kilimadalin]

hard breaking on a bike in traffic when you don't really need to is like very dangerous 'cause a car can rear end you and take you on his hood (knowing that bike don't have brake lights and a lot of drivers don't know what safety distance is and some of them might accelerate when they see the traffic light turn yellow). For exemple: when i stop at an crosswalk i go next to the sidewalk before i break so in case a driver behind me is not paying attention it won't rear end me (or at least he can do a slight turn to avoid me without getting on the 2nd lane). But if it happens to me to see a pedestrian that is already on the sidewalk (crossing from the other sidewalk toward my lane) when i'm less than 5 meters from the crosswalk there are 2 things that i can do: 1. if i don't have time to pass and there is the risk to hit the pedestian i brake as hard i can 2. if they are still 1 lane apart and i have time to pass with out any risk for me or pedestian i just pass (will saing "sorry" to pedestrian). It is illegal but is better than exposing me to the risk of being hit by a car behind me tl:dr : he didn't put anyone at risk by passing on the yellow light but he might been rear ended if he suddently brake

[@The_Gallowglass]

@@MsOpportunity68 They need to stop changing the rules. Red means stop. Everyone knows that.

[@MsOpportunity68]

@@The_Gallowglass Red means stop, but amber also means stop, " unless it is unsafe to do so". Amber does not mean I have time to get through the lights if I speed up. This has been in the highway code for at least the last decade or so.

[@shylockakita]

So jumping the amber lights wasn't a problem then?

[@nigelwake306]

No .. not an offence .. Only RED

[@royfearn4345]

All the amber means is: light changing to red immediately. If you're carrying speed you will clear the junction before this happens, so you keep going. If you get an amber on the approach you must stop if red shows before you reach the line. Be prepared.

[@BucksCycleCam]

@@royfearn4345 That's not at all what an amber means.

[@cuddlybear_uk]

@@nigelwake306 actually Amber means stop unless it is unsafe to do so or your braked momentum would carry you over the stop line. I'm a professional driver and in my role have to stay abreast of the Road Traffic Act.

[@nigelwake306]

@@cuddlybear_uk Sorry Alan .....Top Trumps ! 25 years as a Met Police advanced driver ! You're right .. amber does mean ' STOP' .. but you can't prosecute somebody for jumping an AMBER light ! .. only RED . and if you can't stop for a traffic light .. your brakes either aren't good enough .. or your speed does not reflect your appreciation of your approach to a ' hazard' ... as per Roadcraft Met Police driving manual ....

[@luckxorflu4971]

why is road lane like ''zigzag''?

[@CycleGaz]

It means no parking at that point, to keep visibility of the crossing clear.

@@The_Gallowglass when an idiot on a bike rides through groups of school kids on the pavement. Going faster than the speed limit forcing them to jump into the road to get out of the way I think most parents would say that's quite inportant

[@ianhill4585]

I notice this footage is 7 years old, anyone got any more current footage? No? I wonder why. I've been alive 6 decades ,and I've only seen a wpc shout out the window of the patrol car to a cyclist to stop riding on the pavement ONCE. Yes,I know this was a red light,and my example is a pavement, but both acts are illegal, on a non cycle path.

[@CycleGaz]

Motorists kill and seriously injure more pedestrians at red traffic lights and on the pavement than cyclists. As such, the police focus their energy on the bigger danger.

[@spencerpowell7347]

I'm pretty sure that cabbie went through a red light aswell

[@The_Gallowglass]

Its a cab, what do you expect? They work for a living. Time is money.

yea but the guy stopped never you can clearly see the rider who did riding past the blind cop
