Crossing St Leonards today outside the polis station, pressed the button at the crossing, waited til the light turned red. Silver hatchback Y408 CDS with green P plate on the back had been waiting to pull out of St Leonards Lane, took advantage of the red light to pull out, turned right to head towards the Pleasance, and proceeded to - well, proceed right through the red light and almost hit me as I crossed. Luckily he was going very slowly. He seemed utterly bewildered by my anger and unparliamentary language; didn't seem to have any idea that he'd just gone through the red light he knew was red because he'd used it to get out of the side street.
As I finished bawling at him about handing his licence back, two polis officers appeared from the police station so I hailed them from across the road, told them I'd nearly been hit by this muppet going through a red light at the crossing - and they told me they were off to court so to report it at the station. So I did. Where they took the details, gave me an incident form and pointed out they wouldn't be doing anything without witnesses. *sigh*
