Thanks, Skülly. I can't remember hearing about that precedent (can you give a link?), but as far as I'm aware the law hasn't changed. I consider it quite possible that a judge may have seen a scenario in which a cyclist in their judgement was acting reasonably in advancing in this way, although whether that would be applicable generally is probably debatable. It obviously pretty much negates what the point was in the first place.

re ASLs, @Oliver Schick made a great contribution i.e. classic Oliver, not too long. But I think there may be a legal precedent that means:
isn't quite the case ... in that, although technically not desired, no longer illegal for cycles to advance a reasonable distance over their stop line to wait, if a motor has advanced into the pre-ASL zone then stopped. I now do this regularly, happy that I could argue there's a legal precedent that we can.
