Well, yeah, I could have jammed the anchors on and stopped in the initial ASL, but anyone else behind me would likely not be expecting that.
The "amber" part of my story is to illustrate that, when it turned amber I assumed that the green right turn was also in play - as that is the standard cycle of lights. As a result, I wasn't really checking for anyone coming from ahead of me. That's why I posted it in the "bad cyclist" thread. I assumed it was clear which is an absolute no no for urban rush hour cycling.
I'd go through that amber everyday of the week. The timing was not tight and I'm not heaving on the brakes that late in the day. I've been rear ended at zebra crossings enough times to have learnt that lesson.

It appears most road users do not appreciate that amber is actually a STOP light.
Glad you are ok
