That's completely irrelevant. I can only observe from one particular point, I can't draw any inferences about subsequent behaviour. That would be like a police radar trap pointing at a car within a speed limit and saying that he never exceeded it. It's quite a simple sum: let's say the...

That's not what I meant at all: there were definite cases where large numbers of cyclists went through a red light (generally a pedestrian crossing) and there were red lights where hardly any (or none) ventured through - I didn't keep count of each individual light because, as I said, I was...

Of course, as I said right at the outset, it's not a scientific survey. It was merely something I undertook for my own amusement/edification as I kept hearing how 'most cyclists jumped the lights', my own rough estimate is that about a fifth of cyclists jumped these particular lights but to make...

I don't get this. If there are, say, 44 cyclists on the road and eight go through red lights, then that's about 18 percent (and those are roughly the sort of figures I had every day). I don't see how that's a 'precise figure' - particularly as I said that it varied between 18 and 22 percent. If...

No, kept scores in my head - there were only two figures to keep so it wasn't that difficult. I only mentioned this as an interesting aside, I didn't expect some sort of Spanish Inquisition

They still went through a red light, safe or not. They were marked down. Yes to both questions (and I tried not to count people twice). I was cycling on a Boris bike, which aren't exactly speedy and at nearly 60, I'm not as fast as I used to be so pretty much everybody was overtaking me (and...

I counted all the cyclists on the road and worked out a percentage from those that went through it? It wasn't really a difficult sum to do every day. I had a tally in the office that I updated daily.

I used to cycle from Victoria to Fitzrovia every day and, for interest, I kept a tally of bikes that jumped red lights. I counted them up over a three month period so I had a decent record. Consistently, the stats were the same: between 18 and 22 percent of cyclists rode through red lights every...
