I disagree MG, it is safer in front quite often and I try to get to the front when I can.
It is the whole principle of filtering but even better because there is often a space for you at the front in the box.
If you saw a huge queue of cars - would you just wait at the back?
It is always safer to be in the middle, rather than the sides - as we agree.
So why not take advantage of the time saving offered by the ASL.
The cars are perfectly capable of overtaking you and even if you do wait at the back there will still be cars coming up behind you.
Also - as TW2 says - the boxes are perfectly enforceable - the police are just morons or have better things to do.
