It is not legal in this country no matter whether you are in a car, motorcycle or on a pushbike to run a red light. Nor is it, as used to see on a regular basis at the end of Ecclesfield Road, for a cyclist when their proceeding light is on red to mount the pavement, go on inside of traffic light because they don't think the highway code applies to them. Of course if someone in a car came though green light from right or left and knocked them off the car driver would be to blame for not driving with due care and attention
