So that you can get past the junction before they all turn left into

Why would they turn left into you if you stay behind them?


Because the queue continues to build up and many of the drivers in it
won't have seen you. Or do you suggest scooting backwards till you
are at the back of any possible queue?


And if
you're really in such a hurry to cross the lights why not just get off
the bike , wheel it across the pedestrian crossing and get on again
the other side before the traffic has had the green light?


Like I said, nothing to do with hurry.
