Red light cameras are causing lots of rear-end collisions as drivers

In all my years and miles of driving and cycling I've never seen a
rear-end collision as a result of someone braking for a red light or
for a red light camera.


Then you haven't been driving for many years. It happens all the time.


I've been driving legally for about 33 years, cycling for about 46.


Its what happens when people drive too fast, suddenly brake and the
other person behind, as happens all too often, isnt the regulatory
distance back.


Nope, never seen a rear-ender due to someone braking for a red light, or a
