More than likely. :-D

Interesting that Mr Mason sees fit to report that, but neglects to tell us about all the times when he sees cyclists jumping red lights, and like Chapman, declines to give a straight answer to questions such as "Which do you see jumping red lights more out of cyclists and motorists?"

Anyone would think he had a prejudice against car drivers or something. (Oh but he drives himself so he couldn't possibly. Oh but he could just be a "do as I say not as I do" hypocrite.  Car-haters never were big on leading by example after all.  Just look at the "environmentalists" who swan off to Bali etc for their sanctimonious, unnecessary conferences...you see they're important so they get to extensively pollute the environment, it's just the hoi polloi who actually have to live by the extreme restrictions which they advocate.)
