oddly enough I rarely do this, I feel less guilty if I tuck in behind the lead car. If Im in a silly rush I usually slip by a car as they drop it into 2nd gear anyway but again that rare too as I use it to commute and Im never in much of a rush to get to work.

No its a CITY of London thing. It's always been their bug bear but I've never seen the Met enforce it.

But unless they stop stupidly far from the stop line which does sometimes happen, It's a courtesy thing not to pull in front. It also allows them to pull away on the red & amber, but you can pull away legally on the green[/iam] |

But on the other side of the lead car thing it's nice to get into a position where you can more clearly be seen rather than hanging about in between lanes. It looks a bit aggressive but it's something I do so I don't get squashed.
Sorry to derail Jambo and thanks for the heads up. |

![]() I do always try to say thanks to people who make filtering easier for me though.. really pushes by buttons when I'm in the car and people don't say thanks for letting them out of a junction etc. ![]() Still though, I only tend to go into cycle boxes when I'm riding in London. Just so I don't get squashed lol. Also makes it easier for other bikes to get to the front IMO. Riding in London requires a completely different skillset to any other place I've been |
