So if the light is green you carry on through on the left, how does that enable your right turn?
And the problem is you're breaking the law. I thought that had already been explained.
ASLs are for the most part poorly designed and a risk. This has been shown in various videos that show that most ASLs are equivalent to the area of the blind spot in front of a truck stopped at the line, and that's just one of the risks.
Those are two different sets of lights. The first one, a right turn is on the way into work. The second set which I am describing to yo latterly is on my way home and I go straight on.
This isn't an area frequented by many trucks, and you're right, I wouldn't position myself there in front of a truck, I'm talking about positioning myself in front of cars, far less risk to be in front than to the left. The same can't be said for trucks, I'd hang back behind and wait for it to clear off in the same position, though if there was a truck on this particular street there wouldn't be enough room to filter anyway as the road is narrow and it would block the cycle lane anyway.
Clearly you don't get my drift as you're talking absolute nonsense. In these circumstances I'd rather be a live law breaker who has caused no one else any inconvenience, distress or risk than pointlessly put myself at risk for the sake of being a few inches over the line.
This is the problem with the vehicularists, they want us to be treated like motorised vehicles and be punished as such as well, but cyclin presents a whole different set of risks on busy urban roads, our laws just don't reflect that in general and there are numerous situations where remaining within the law puts a cyclist needlessly at risk.
