The words 'not, got, a, leg, to, stand, on' and 'he, has, not' spring to
mind.

"He has not not" .. is this a double negative?

I thought I'd refrain from comment initially, but that's what I thought.
I don't remember seeing anywhere in the HC that red lights don't apply
during certain hours.

He's a twit. He should quit whinging & cough up. He sounds just like a
motorist whinging about being caught by a speed camera ;-)

About the size of it. As for the nonse about people getting discouraged
from cycling, I'd have thought if anything about this did that it would
be getting associated with characters like that...

But maybe he's a safe and experienced cyclist who feels he shouldn't be
distracted from the road by having to keep his eyes glued to street
furniture.🙂

Didn't see the cops when he (may have) stopped, to wait to see if the
lights changed in his favour?
Deserves to have been caught out IMO!

I ride to work at this time and have to pass through many traffic lights on
the way. I know all of the lights that do not detect my bike as I pass over
the wires. If these are at red for a long period of time, I am allowed to
carefully proceed as the lights are "not working". Of course, I look around
first to make sure there are no police around. If I did get fined, I'd pay
up though.

But not a very smart one. When running red lights at 5:00 AM or so,
one should carefully check for the presence of police officers. Or in
other words he's a twit. 1) breaks the law, 2) is dumb enough to get
caught, 3) stupid enought to fight it.

In particular, if you can't spot a copper, you can't spot another
pedestrian, and if you can't do that, wait for the lights.

Although "A police spokesman said officers have to respond if they see an
offence being committed in front of them" - unless of course it is a
motorist breaking the speed limit...

....or a motorist jumping red lights, which I've also seen coppers
ignore. Ironic, huh?

Methinks he missed a trick. If he was the only traffic and the lights
didn't respond to his presence, then they are broken, and can be ignored.
