Personally I'd have just waited behind him in primary. ASL abuse is so common I've decided not to let it annoy me!

Yep, same as me, just let it go. Just not worth the hassle.

Just general driving. 99% of drivers don't know what the ASL is for. I usually wait just behind the cars so get a small tow aerodynamically off start !
A last summer one evening, I stopped in the ASZ and in the next lane a taxi stops across the ASL waiting at some traffic lights. I kept looking at him and he wound his window down and asked me what the matter was. This conversation followed:

Him: Whats the matter?
Me: Do you know what this area is for?
Him: No.
Me: It is for cyclists only. You are legally obliged to stop at the first line.
Him: Oh okay, I didnt know that.
Me: Okay then.
The lights change and we go our seperate ways.

It cheered me up a little as I have a tendency to give people who are in the ASZ dirty looks.

I must admit I don't tend to bother with people in the ASL, even when they are there illegally (it's possible to be in an ASL quite legally in a motor vehicle). I feel it's an unnecessary conflict, and I prefer to choose other things that are actually dangerous or anti-social.
