What are the rules for cars waiting in cycle lanes? Barrelling toward traffic lights at the bottom of a short hill, cycle lane starts on the left about 200 yards before the lights, minibus waiting in left lane but plenty of space on the left, so I go left. In front of the minibus is a car indicating left but not fully to the curb but completely in my way. Came to a clumsy stop and settled for some gesticulation, pointing at the cycling lane then at me, 'My space, mine all mine' in demento sign language, before throwing up my arm, demento sign language for 'twatbag'. Because I had made such a fuss I had to wait at the red light, which is annoying because it is a threeway filter into a one-way and if you come in from my direction you don't cross any lines of traffic, just skulk in on the left. Plus there are endless reds simply for the peds to cross
