Road Courtesy
Is it me, or am I in the twilight zone? I thought a red traffic light meant stop, do not move, remain in one position.Apparently this is not the case.
Tonight coming home from work I was at a cross-roads behind a transit van waiting for the lights, which were on green. We were in a position in the road (hatched area) to move on amber, which the transit van did, quite legally, and I followed it. However, some silly sod did not stop at his red light and started to follow transit van, cutting me off from my turn. He stopped. I stopped, then I'm afraid I was very unladylike to get him out of my way. All traffic stopped because of this idiot. I was in the right in my manoeuvre.
This is what makes driving here dangerous because his light was definitely on red but still came through it and I was in the position where I had to get out of the way, quite legally.
Anyone else encounter plonkers like these?

Re: Road Courtesy
The worst offenders were the taxis. I use to be so scared driving there.

Re: Road Courtesy
This so made me laugh Mollie, this happens all the time not only do cars speed up when the lights turn from amber to red cars keep going though long afterwards.My mantra is always why are there no police when you need them to catch these drivers.
It is always the same at rounabouts with us, cars see you coming round the roundabout and they come off the exit round at speed to get in front of you, if this wasent so stupid it would be funny.
