Mine too. Though it's a shame they couldn't have included motorists as well.

In Southampton a number of the traffic lights have cameras so motorists
running red lights are getting caught all the time. The worrying thing is
that the cyclists didn't spot the police officers - not paying much
attention to whats happening around them.

I live in Southampton, too. I see no evidence of motorists being stopped for
running lights.

You won't. Look for the cameras on the lights. Top end coming onto the
Avenue opposite the Land Rover garage for example. They are like the speed
cameras, you don't get stopped, you get a letter and fixed penalty notice in
the mail based on the photo.

I know a cyclist who runs red lights at 1am when the roads are
empty...it's his ambition to get caught on camera!

He needs to wear a t-shirt with his name and address on then so they know
where to send the picture ;-)

Forgot to say that on Radio Naarfiik the other day, Plod was on talking about a
pre-Christmas clampdown on motorists with defective lights etc., and after
prompting he stated that cyclists with defective lights would also be
targetted. Perhaps there's some sort of national initiative going on I wonder?
