agreed - this has happened to me multiple times on the CS3 junction between cable street and royal mint street in the run up to Tower Bridge.
It seems there are a lot of drivers out there who just aren't aware that there are even specific cycle lanes, let alone traffic lights that don't apply to them.....

Close shave this morning - CS7 heading North, grimy box van decides the green light for the bike lane at Stockwell is for him as well. He charges through cutting across myself and two other bicyclists, cue lots of swearing and wobbling as all three of us slam on the anchors and bail out the way.
What really fucked me off was the two cars behind him, who having seen three of us nearly go under a box van, decide they too should follow him through on a red. Went after the lot of them but lost them when they all ran the next lights.
Not the first time this has happened to me there at Stockwell, please never assume vehicles are going to respect the red light next to the bike lane guys.
