I'll admit to ignoring red lights on roundabouts when it's safe to do so at night. These worked fine for years without lights and while they became necessary to improve traffic flow in many situations, the lights really only needed at rush hour. To be fair, at rush hour many people still ignore the lights and go though blocking exits and lanes for others to drive on to. These people really piss me off.....

I had this discussion with my wife when the guy did it at Maybury - it was late and if you knew the junction, probably safe enough to do it.

Who decides, though? Is it just the roundabout where you can exercise discretion and only at night, and what time does it become ok?

I know you’re a sensible guy, but when you bring in discretion it opens it up to folk who aren’t as sensible and those lines become blurred, so you could ignore the lights at any time if the roundabout is clear, or just if it’s safe to go even if it’s busy (loads of roundabouts don’t have lights so that must be doable)…

Not having a go at all, just curious about it. Like i said, when i talked to my wife about it I was definitely sitting in the “no harm done” camp until we started asking those questions.
