[Gllug] Cyclists (off topic)

[Mark Preston]

FWIW I prefer 

Stop says the red light,
Go says the green,
Wait says the amber light,
Winking in-between.

IMHO people should be given tax rebates to encourage them to cycle 
rather than clog up and pollute the roads with their cars.

Amber is stop with other provisions:

AMBER means 'Stop' at the stopline. 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
