Try not to hit anything while your looking at the sign, and watch out for the fact that some will say till 7pm or something, then with-out warning the next one says 24hrs.

And dont forget the dozy drivers who will get all confused at how to react when you are coming up the bus lane when they want to turn left, who will stop and then have a Range Rover see that as an invitation to make the turn into that road before the one who stopped and then knock you off your bike.

Also the cyclest that randomly swings across the lane for no reason other then he can. Or the more anoying one who cycles on the right hand side of the lane even though hes not overtaking anyone.
Plus the ocassional muppet on some old CD250 or something thats to scared to filter and seems to wobble everywhere.

I'm quite good at reading road signs without hitting things

Holloway Road is particularly evil in changing the bus lanes from 4-7pm to 24/7 without warning. I'm sure that it's a deliberate scam to catch people out and make revenue from bus lane cameras.

Ah come on now..... you realy think they'd stoop that low to make some money? A Govt who says that fuel to heat you home is a LUXURY thats why you have to pay VAT on it. Surely not, they're far to nice to try and steal our money.
Even the new bike bay charges are just their way of doing us all a favour, dont you know?




Zig... recently got done by a bus lane camera in Barnet!
