This happened last week, but I'm still pretty pissed about it.

This driver went through a red light at full speed as I was already in the intersection.

When I review the video of the incident, they had a red light for FIVE SECONDS before running it. The sun was NOT in their eyes, and it would have been very clear that I was riding through (high-viz everything).

It's infuriating to read about cyclists being disproportionately punished, while this kind of behaviour by motorists is normalized.

Had I been on an ebike, I would have been smoked 100%. My cautious start off the light is the only reason why I wasn't in their path.

Unfortunately, due to their high rate of speed and the angle of the plates, I couldn't even report this to police.
