Cyclists, or road users in general?

Obviously road users

Why did you say cyclists then?

[Timeh]

I saw a cyclist go through a red light then almost got wiped out by a car coming from pit lane. The cyclist shouted abuse and threats at the car driver (who did nothing wrong) so the driver got out and threatened to thump him. He bottled it and cycled away. What a man lol.

Letting cyclists move out of the way of danger if the road is clear. Sensible policy and I ride and drive.

Its a terrible idea. Some cyclists already have an oh so arrogant attitude regarding lights (see previous post) and this would help no one. Cyclists who want to go through red lights do so already. The sensible ones wait their turn like everyone else.
