Amber gambler or red menace?

Whilst the police are (rightly) targeting car drivers using their mobiles whilst driving – there’s an increasingly and possibly more-dangerous menace on our roads – the amber gambler – or maybe the miscreants are just colour blind.

A vulernable cyclist or motorcyclist could well have been taken out by this driver at the junction of Hurdsfield Road and Black Lane.

For those who don’t know their highway code amber means STOP – you may go on only if the amber appears after you have crossed the stop line or are so close to it that to pull up might cause an accident.

This chappie came out on red – which just means STOP.

We’ll be featuring a few over the coming weeks.

If you know them – tell them they’ve been caught on camera.
