Has someone got to die before we start enforcing the law? Riding over crossings, through red lights, on the pavement by default, it seems, is it time to get tough?

These London cyclists who treat red lights with disdain, how long do they survive? From the little I've seen of traffic there you'd be dicing with death to go through against the lights.

Sandy, there were examples of this on here (if you didn't see it) last week

and examples of the miscreants, caught red-handed by the police, arguing in "black is white" fashion that it was safer for them to break the law.

I've had that mushroom, some plonker riding on the pavement, when I mentioned it he said it wasn't safe on the road, well you should not be cling then mate if you have no idea.
