Boy racer hurtles away from the lights, nearly hits a little old lady
crossing the road, then floors it to get the "lost" time back, then has to slam on the anchors at a zebra where I pass him anyway. What is that all about? http://www.swldxer.co.uk/impatient.wmv -- Simon Mason http://www.simonmason.karoo.net/ |

The rule is that it only applies to motor vehicles as you well know :-) It has been done to death on this NG for many years. -- Simon Mason |

If done safely, yes. The head of a traffic queue is the safest place to be in a traffic queue. |

I do wonder about this, surely if you are at the head of the queue then you have more vehicles behind trying to get past you when the lights go green than if you were to wait in the queue? Not to mention the additional risk of getting to the front in the first place. |

The head of a traffic queue is the safest place to be in a traffic queue.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - In that case, the boy racer had to turn left as straight ahead was buses/cycles only. So passing him on the outside avoided a potential left hook. I did the same thing later on. http://www.swldxer.co.uk/satjam.wmv -- Simon Mason |
