evenespecially when there is free-flowing or no traffic in the adjacent lane.20(a). if you are in a rush and want to overtake and then pull into your bus lane currently occupied by a cyclist you must begin the manoeuvre before you have begun to pass them. under no circumstances must you wait until you are clear of their front wheel to begin moving across.
20(b). if you aren't actually in a rush but your bus lane is currently occupied by a cyclist anyways you must drive no more than 2 feet from their rear wheel and use your horn to signal that they are trespassing on your territory. At no point should you use the completely free lane for normal road traffic immediately to your right to overtake.
disclaimer: by and large I don't have any problems but on jamaica road I get these on a nightly occurrence.
