Incidentally, I know nothing about him other than what was revealed in the few minutes I saw of the documentary. For all I know he could be more than just an eccentric "social corrector". If he really is a "borderline psychopath" then a lame accusation of possible red light jumping is a really pathetic at discrediting him, given all the material that Droid has posted on YouTube. Why a bus though? Apparently bikes and buses are equally lethal...

I've spelled out the comparative dangers of your average cyclist travelling at 5-30 km/h versus the huge number of motorists driving vehicles weighing 1000-10,000 kg and up at speeds typically in excess of 50 km/h. Understanding the difference, and appreciating the need for speed surveillance, just needs a rudimentary knowledge of physics combined with common sense and a bit of respect for vulnerable road users. Not my fault that such understanding is in short supply.

Pedro K wrote: » Yet when somebody in a car makes a decision that 60kmph in a 50 zone is safe their understanding of physics is irrelevant and you just go back to your 'obey the rule' rhetoric. There's the irony. Just for the record, I'm currently studying for an honours degree in experimental physics. My understanding is not in short supply, so less of the insults.

Unfortunately nobody reported it (which I was surprised at) the Guard then pretty much hung up on me after saying at its no use if we don't know the reg :rolleyes: I thought the least he could have done was take my details in case someone reports the reg later.

"While I'm not a law-abiding driver (I usually go through this road at 70kph)" An extra 15kpm and your chances of avoiding them kids would be reduced by a scary amount.
