What you find on roads (such as Kennington Road) where you have two lanes, one of which is a bus lane until ~100m before the lights, is that the biggest wankers will pull into the lane-that-was-bus-lane in order to give it the gas off the lights, and therefore make up 50m of vital road position.
Of course, this means that Twatty McCuntface is sitting behind The Slowest Cyclists In The World, who have spread out into an amorphous cloud in the ASL, all trying to push and shove to the front in the most passive-aggressive manner possible.
Usually the front rank anticipates the lights and go off down the road, then the lights go green and the Chartreuse Cloud proceeds, after that sudden dramatic left or right dart that they like to perform when setting off.
Which leaves our friend in the vehicle trying to force his (or her) way through the Chartreusians in order that they can pull in front of the cars they wish to undertake.
Fun times.
