James Bond star Daniel Craig seen skipping red light on bike ride in London

Daniel Craig has been pictured riding through a red traffic light while out and about in London.

The James Bond actor was seen riding his bicycle through Hampstead in North London when onlookers instantly spotted the star, who was seen riding across a road while the light indicated red in his direction. Daniel, 55, was seen on a road in the north of the capital when the incident occurred.

In exclusive pictures and video obtained by the Mirror, he was snapped wearing a helmet and sunglasses during the outing.

He was seen rocking khaki shorts, showcasing his toned legs as well as a white T-shirt, braving the elements of the undecided British weather. Meanwhile, he donned headphones, which were placed neatly in his ear underneath his black helmet.

Across England, cyclists are expected to follow the Highway Code. It reads: "Section 71: A red traffic light applies to all road users. Cyclists must not cross the stop line if the traffic lights are red. Use the separate stop line for cyclists when practical."

Meanwhile, the Road Traffic Act of 1988 states that all road users must comply with traffic signs, where one is "of the prescribed size, colour and type, or another character authorised by the relevant authorities under the provisions in that behalf of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984."

The Highway Code also states: "At traffic light junctions and at cycle-only crossings with traffic lights, you MUST NOT cross the stop line when the traffic lights are red.

"Some junctions have an advanced stop line to enable you to position yourself ahead of other traffic and wait (see Rule 178). When the traffic lights are red, you may cross the first stop line, but you MUST NOT cross the final stop line."

Daniel's outing comes just days after he appeared alongside Brad Pitt and Annabel Croft at the Wimbledon final which saw Croatian champion Novak Djokovic and Spanish star Carlos Alcaraz go head to head.

Sitting next to his wife, actress Rachel Weisz, the star looked very dapper wearing a grey linen blazer, red handkerchief, striped tie and designer sunglasses.

Also at Wimbledon were Prince George and Princess Charlotte, who took their seats in the Royal Box at Centre Court after arriving with their father Prince William and mum Kate.
