Red means stop [censored], part something

Resound said:

I saw an example of why the notion that cyclists running red lights only
hurt themselves is utter bollocks this evening. Now admittedly the
pedestrian who stepped out onto the crossing a couple of seconds after the
light turned red *without looking first* was being a trifle careless but he
still should have been able to do that. If the cyclist hadn't run said red
light he would have been fine. As it was he got slapped down pretty hard. I
don't think he was badly hurt, but he wasn't getting up in a hurry, he
definitely looked distressed and I bet he's going to be bloody sore.

Beaut result. Now if only all the [censored] riding in Brisbane in the
dark without lights could run into a pole to learn their lesson,
instead of potentially hitting me or some other person trying to do
the right thing ... I sympathise with student budgets, but ffs they
are already saving a lot by riding a dunger, you'd think they could
find $30 for a couple of blinkers.

Sorry, I just realised how ambiguous that was. The cyclist went down but
seemed pretty much ok. It was the ped that really hit the ground.

Pity you couldn't report his licence plate to the cops for dangerous
riding 😉
