that the little girl killed recently was walking along the pavement
with her mother.

No doubt the driver of the car was actually a cyclist in disguise.
After all motorists never drive on pavements, according to some,
only cyclists do this.

That's the running joke in this family. Whenever husband or I see a
motorist jump a red light, and there are *loads* in our neck of the
woods - it's endemic in Norwich - the saying is, "Look it's another
cyclist in disguise." :-(

Do motorists there overtake queues of stationary traffic waiting at red
lights, specifically to jump the lights?

Do they drive up to a light that has been red for a while, slow down as
they approach it, check to see that the way is clear, then proceed to
jump it?
