  • Anyone know the rules for driving in a Cycle Super Highway? I was cycling home along the Chelsea Embankment after 11pm last night when I could hear what sounded like a taxi really close to me. Turned round and he was tailgating me. He waited for the car on my right to over take then overtook me and moved back into the CSH and carried on driving.

    It was 11pm free flowing traffic yet he was driving up the inside of the others. Is using the CSH in this way legal?

    I take it this wasn't a segregated bit? Check the plates that are up by the side of the carriageway. Outside of the operating hours indicated there, any vehicle driver can use such facilities. You have the same thing with bus lanes. In practice, relatively few drivers know about this, but it doesn't surprise me that a taxi driver would know. Yes, it could be perfectly kosher.
