This seems timely, considering my group of cyclists had a so-called more experienced rider unequivocally state that "It's okay for cyclists to go through red lights, as long as you slow down a little."
Bike safety & bicycle traffic laws (From San Antonio Police Dept.)
I'm not being a hard@ss... I got a ticket while driving recently, so I've had to take driver safety/training to get the ticket dropped for insurance purposes, so this is something that's fresh on my mind. Don't let it be fresh on yours because you're in a wreck with a vehicle. Vehicles are big and smelly and most of all, they hurt, bad.
