    Indeed. And it's large, high enough not to be obstructed, and lists the times of operation ....

    There was. But the sign immediately before the bus lane doesn't have hours of operation, so is in operation 24hrs, hence my decision to change lanes.

    Drive along at the speed limit, clutch in, big rev just when you're right beside him. Sorry, can't help myself...

    But you had advance warning of the bus lane and weren’t going to drive in it, so why did you leave it until the last minute to get into the correct lane?

    Because the advance warning suggested the lane was only operational at certain hours, it was only once I was through the junction and about to enter the bus lane that I then saw the sign saying the bus lane was 24hrs.

    Plus, even if I had known, two lanes enter the junction and there's literally a couple of car lengths the other side of the junction before the bus lane, so I was simply using all available road.

    It's really not that hard. I was right, the angry, rude motorcyclist was wrong.

    Come on it’s really not that hard.

    Almost as easy to spot as the hole you reversed into.

    I hope your local police force aren’t reading this or they’ll never allow you out with a speed gun.

    What does that photo have to do with anything?

    This is the bus lane I'm on about:

    That was about a year ago. It's really time you learned to let things go.
