Sadly, this also seems to apply at red lights. I've lost count of how
many times i've cycled up alongside a line of traffic at some lights
and come to rest a little way ahead of the stop line (i'm a sinner, i
know), only for the car next to me to rev up and move forward all of
six inches to draw level ...

I downright refuse to stop before that green bit at the front of the
lights that meant for cyclists - I always stop on it! Why should the
miserable, pavement-pedallers have any more of the road than they
already have? They've got one lane, now they want two extra! When they
pay road tax like we do, then I might consider it!

There's been no road tax in this country for more than fifty years. I
don't know who you're paying it to, but you're being conned.
