Check the blue signs for what times and days they are restricted for normal traffic rather then just buses and taxis.

Reminds me last time when i had to up to the pharmacy to collect my prescription. That one the way back a car driver just decided to randomly brake (For no reason) which was in a bus stop.
I've never had a car in the bus lane (unless it was a taxi) but around here there's so many L Students on motorbikes that always overtake cyclists very closely. I know a motorbike is different then a car but isn't the rule the same for any veichle? (that's what annoys me the most about bus lanes)

It could just be that people risk it on Fridays because the traffic in London is usually appalling after 1pm. By and large, motorists tend to stay out of bus lanes here. The chances of being nicked are very high due to all the roadside and bus cameras.

They're Freemasons, they're permitted to use the politburo lane.

Unless your Noel Edmonds who bought an old Black Cab and drove it around the Bristol Bus-lanes (where licenced taxis are allowed) so that he could make a point about the congested state of Bristols roads.

And this is how i got to spend the day in maxillofacial surgery whilst the kind doctors put my face back together. Car pulls out of a junction into the bike lane ahead of me before abruptly putting the anchors on and stopping in the bus stop that crosses the bike lane.

This kind of driving is dangerous and irresponsible and should be reported to the police.

In Coventry they are suspending a lot of the bus lanes, it make a particular junction a bit more interesting as I'm now sharing what used to be the bus lane with other traffic.
