Hearing reports of a lad being given a fifty pound fine on the spot for jumping a red light in Charlotte Square upon his bicycle,
Harsh but pointing out all the other Fokkers in their cars doing the same ain’t no defence.

IT’S TRUE!

Well done to ALL posters
It soon became useful and entertaining. There are regular posters, people who add useful info occasionally and plenty more who drop by to watch. That's fine. If you want to add news/comments it's easy to register and become a member.

Interesting. A normal traffic red, or one of the yes-you-do-have-to-wait-that-long cycling-specific reds to get into George St?
Leaving Charlotte Sq heading north down the hill the remarkably named Petrichor sandwich shop (I would like my sandwich to remind me of the smell of the earth after rain) to the right and the intricate column commemorating the female writer (daughter of the first Scottish statistician) to the left
The police should be camped out at the lights near Davidsons Mains, on Hillhouse Road and Craigcrook Road, they'd make a fortune and perhaps stop a potential accident.
Or the junction of Queen St & Hanover St. I see a car or two blatantly jumping a red light pretty much every time I pass through there.
Strangely, the tech is there to fine people who jump red lights or speed.
Bit it just isn’t cricket
Meanwhile any coke head can get into a motor and kill a wean
In better news the 20mph seems to be working in Edinburgh with injuries and fatalities down a good whack.
