What muppets. Barge through to the front of a queue of traffic (cars and bikes), go through the ASL, then go on a bit further before stopping WHERE YOU CAN'T SEE THE TRAFFIC LIGHT. Fools. Do you like being a stationary obstacle for everyone else when the lights change? :roll:

    Yeah, this habit is faintly irritating. It's quite satisfying to blast by when they've not even lifted their foot off the ground yet. Since I'm usually in primary position at the lights, I don't care that they're there, because they aren't in my way.

    It used to wind me up an awful lot, but it's just another thing I've calmed down about now.

    I am occasionally guilty of doing this one myself when the ASL is totally congested. I just try to anticipate the green light as best I can.

    I do it sometimes, usually because someone is right over the ASL or there isn't one, I usually do fine with the engine notes, not today though, a couple more bikes arrived and stopped the cars from going

    I got a ding from the bike behind me, a bit embarassing

    Its only if you are half asleep is when you get caught normally it's the cyclist in front of me that seems to go into a dreamworld.As I tend to know all the traffic light sequences I don't really have a problem. :roll:
