It's not safer to go to the front. The safest position is behind the vehicle at the front.
Idiots stopping in ASL boxes.

i have just enjoyed all 12 pages. I had never heard of @Racing roadkill until yesterday when I watched and rewatched the terrible conditions of his other ride. This ASL drama trumps that for fun

Time passed. The planets wheeled in their orbits. Civilisations rose, fell and rose again. Humans broke their physical, earthly bonds and became spirit beings of pure energy, able to pass between dimensions and stare upon the face of God himself.
Then one of them tuned into CycleChat and this thread was still going.

I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like… tears in rain. Time to die.

It's original, although a couple of the phrases are stock ones.

I'm completely indifferent to motorists entering the ASL box. Why should it bother me? It might contravene the Highway Code but they are unlikely to do me any harm.
A motorist sat in an ASL alongside me put me under enough pressure to make a quick getaway from the lights that I went on red and amber - for the wrong direction (left only). Realized my mistake quickly enough, stopped before the turning traffic, and one of them let me pass. Then when the light turned green the initial vehicle drew alongside and berated me for jumping the light... I think the irony was lost on him.

How does a stationary car put you under pressure?

Is that an Olympic event?
Because I don't like being to the left of the traffic stream through a junction, even if there is a left turn lane.
And the dodgy number plate is totally irrelevant unless they run over me and nobody can read it to enable them to make a note for the Police.
I have mixed feelings about Camera's and recording your every journey. Yes they can provide valuable evidence to the police/insurance companies in the event of a serious incident but, if you watch the many Youtube clips there is an element of vehicle hating vigilantes out there just looking for trouble (I'm not suggesting that applies to the OP by the way). I'm sure that all of the motorists amongst us will admit to not being perfect and making the odd mistake occasionally (not indicating, wrong lane etc...) but, as long as you haven't injured anybody and acknowledge your mistake, then I'm sure that you will learn from it and are less likely to do it again. Perhaps the motorist should record the cyclists too, as there are a lot of idiots on two wheels doing some pretty stupid/dangerous things of their own.
BUT, people who park on cycle lanes/paths

In that case don't go there, it's not compulsory, why would you put yourself in a position that is either unsafe or you feel unsafe?
Because I was proceeding into an ASL, but the box was blocked by a
taxi. It's since then that I've taken up moving ahead of the foremost vehicle, never mind the ASL's physical location.
