I have a red light and a pedestrian has a red light .......

I have a red light and a pedestrian has a red light
If I run my red light I get really told off
If he runs his red light he doesn't get told off
Even more so is if I have a green light he OBVIOUSLY has a red light. If he walks on his red light and I drive on my green light and "accidently" run the c**t over then it's still my fault
Why is this ???

Because you are safely cocooned in a ton of metal and he only has skin and bones to 'protect' him?
Although the pedestrian might be in the wrong, it doesn't mean you can run them over.
Weren't you taught that 'red' means stop, 'amber' means stop and 'green' means stop if the way is not clear / safe to proceed?
If you get to a crossroads and the other traffic has stopped blocking your way across, do you smash into them as your light is green and you have right of way?

This is because a pedestrian is not subject to the same rules as a motorist, largely down to the amount of damage and injury a pedestrian can cause, and society deciding that the onus is on those with power to take care of those without.If I run my red light I get really told off

If you find this difficult in concept or practice I suggest you stop driving.

wishy washy weak minded attitude that has helped create a under society of chavs who know they can do what they like with no consequence Although the pedestrian might be in the wrong, it doesn't mean you can run them over.

How do you know I don't drive a milkfloat or a g-wizz !!!!" as you so politely put it is not polluting the atmosphere with CO2 whereas you are.I OBVIOUSLY don't drive either
So why can they run their red light with no consequences but I can't run mine, I mean, we both use the same road ??

If I go on my GREEN light it is my right to
If they go on their GREEN light that is their right to
Why should they not abbide by their red light and make me stop for their stupidity
Other countries do you for walking on a red man even if there is no traffic about

I think you can be "done" in the UK too, but only if your action causes an accident. Think the fine is £150.If I go on my GREEN light it is my right to

They will cause an accident....... When they go through my windscreen
I think it's just pure rude
Same as bicyclists RUNNING RED LIGHTS and they get away with it
Dear Pistonheads,
Why do I have to stop for people or animals or traffic or accidents or the law or physics or rainbows or my mum calling me home for my tea?
It almost seems like the system is not set up entirely in my favour. I am quite prepared to have a tantrum over this.
Yours marvellously,

Because there are no laws saying that the pedestrian can't cross through a red light. Even if there were, he could just move a foot down the road and cross off the crossing. Personally, I think the system works very well for both drivers and pedestrians as it is.

I covered the same thing in the "knob" thread. You've had instruction and passed a test before you're allowed out in a vehicle, whereas anyone is allowed to walk along the pavement and cross the road. You and I know how stupid you'd have to be to walk out in front of a moving vehicle even if you're at a pedestrian crossing, but it seems that many pedestrians don't consider it. In fact, most people in general don't consider, or aren't prepared to accept, the consequences of their own actions. And not just on the road.djad1200 said:

Just by chance do you have the outrageous pink sticky up hair like the old trolls used to have
I realize that it was unessessary to use a strong word like that. I am sorry

Why is this ???
Both of you would be found at fault. Understand?Why is this ???
Its equal and its fair.
I know it wouldn't stand up in court at all
All my point was is why do they even have green and red men if they technically mean nothing ??
