Cyclists jump red lights for, inter alia, their own safety, oh, waita minute

This is the horrifying moment a cyclist is thrown into the air after
hitting a car

Cyclists are being reminded to put road safety first following the
incident that occurred at a busy junction in Cardiff city centre

This video, which shows a 21-year-old cyclist being flung into the air
after hitting a car, has prompted a plea for safe cycling.

The cyclist was left unconscious on the road and hospitalised after
cycling through a red light and hitting a car.

The man, who was not wearing a helmet, was rushed to the University
Hospital of Wales after hitting the car’s windscreen and landing on the
kerb.

Good job he was not wearing a helmet or he might have been seriously
hurt, oh, wait a minute.

Good job he wasn't in a car. An innocent might have got hurt.

Moral. Before going through red lights, check that nothing is coming.

Wicked - one of the best ones yet.

But I can't see how the accident happened. Surely the traffic light was green
for the motorist?

A spokeswoman for the Welsh Ambulance Service confirmed the ambulance arrived
35 minutes after the call was made ........ having realised it was only a
cyclist and there was hence no rush.

Once more, a psychopath is _de facto_ responsible for _ipso facto_ hitting
_inter alia_ a cyclist.

Motor vehicle drivers never run the red.

What else did he or she hit, then?

Hope this helps.
