Does anyone else notice new bad habits suddenly taking hold? There was a sudden huge rush of motorcyclists cutting me up in bike lanes and crowding me out of the ASL as soon as they were allowed in the bus lanes - and just in the past week I've noticed drivers doing this annoying thing of stopping at the first line, but then slowly and deliberately rolling up past the ASL, and often right over the pedestrian crossing, whilst waiting for the lights to change. Some of them even end up 'anticipating' the lights by a couple of seconds, and most of them seem to be what I'd consider higher-risk vehicles - i.e. HGVs, 4x4s, wankers in sports cars.
Or is it just me? (I spend far too much of my life getting annoyed by things like this. (But then, the annoyance was somewhat exacerbated by seeing a cyclist knocked down by an RLJing lorry last week.)
