i.e. up on the nearside of stationary traffic at the lights. A big no-no for some, OK by others if it's safe...
Sometimes I wonder. This morning I arrive at the ASL, to go straight on: there's a taxi waiting, quite correctly at the first stop line and signalling left. Nothing wrong with that. There's a feeder lane on the left, but I overtake on the right to enter the ASL box, as I usually do in this situation, for safety's sake. Common sense: if a vehicle is turning left, don't filter up on its inside. I assume he can see me. Then the lights go green. I can't set off promptly because two crossing cars are jumping the lights (a commonplace thing). But that doesn't hinder Mr. Cabbie, he undertakes me and zips off to the left, causing me to dodge and leaving inches to spare...
*sigh* Perhaps I should have come up the feeder lane on the left, as he was probably expecting. And: anyone wanting to remind me that I was technically infringing by going into the ASL other than via the feeder lane - go ahead, I do know that. I wonder what's best sometimes...
