Silly question... might it be an idea to have some sort of signs (at fairly regular intervals) pointing out that "Cycle lanes are advisory, not compulsory" or something to that effect? I'd imagine a lot of road users - perhaps including some cyclists - would be learning something, and might even end up behaving less twattishly.
I can only remember one punishment pass for not using the ridiculous pavement-based cycle lane along the A21 at Bromley. I could never quite understand the logic of: "You should be using that cycle lane over there, and just to show you how dangerous it is not to, I'm going to drive dangerously close to you on purpose. NOW look what you nearly made me do!" Cunt. (A coach driver as well, therefore supposedly a professional driver? Cunt.)
