I know that I will not always be correct in my judgement of the lights, the lorry might not be signalling its intentions and that there is the very small chance that I could slip on a drain or pothole while passing.
All in all, I personally decide to minimise the risk by staying behind the lorry.
I really don't think what I do is bollocks. Its pretty safe if you ask me. I'm not suggesting that others have to do it.
