I suggest snipers on every other building. That should do it.

Crossing Vauxhall Bridge last night, one ******* sailed through the
green pedestrian phase at high speed and actually had the nerve to call
me a **** when I shouted ****** at him.
These people are little more than scum and the sooner the police do
something the better, not that that will ever happen.

Carry a walking stick. Stick it through their spokes as they pass you. That
should focus their mind (probably on the road!).

- and I speak as a RESPONSIBLE cyclist, equally as ****ed off with these
kamikaze idiots who get us all a bad name.

I know... about as bad as the bus I just got back off which sailed
through seven sets of red lights (mostly on Piccadilly)

What did YOU do about it?

I do NOT suggest reporting details to the police who are a waste of
space in such situations. A call via POTS://0207221234 or
http://www.tfl.gov.uk should result in a written response within the
month. Do not expect effective action. OTOH, I assume that a pattern of
complaint will result in a P45.

(I failed to find a deep URL at tfl at 09.30 on Saturday due to a "503 :
Error Server is busy". I do not care enough to bother John Biggs who is
my assemblyman.)

I did nothing at all. The bus red light jumping combined with less
traffic reduced my journey time from 2 hours to 30mins. My post was
just trying to show that it isn't only cyclists who jump red lights.
