Why can't cyclist judge their own width ?

I am back driving a tranny round London and am partially amazed by the number of times I check my mirrors to set off from traffic lights and see a cyclist stopped half way up my left side between me and a bus because they couldn't get any further forward. I hadn't just passed them, so I had been stationary for some time before they tried to squeeze though. :sad: I don't like to move forward while a cyclist is along side me as I can always wait for them to get in front and pass them later.

Also why do 2 wheeled riders feel the need to pass a stationary line of traffic without checking that there will be somewhere to drop into by the time I get to them from the other direction. Motorcyclists are the worst offenders, but cyclists aren't much better.

Are you a chauffeur for a cross dresser?
Good point though!

It's symptomatic of the fact that everyone in built up areas gets frustrated with waiting any length of time for anything and, in the case of cyclists, that leads them to take unadvisable risks, be it misjudged filtering, RLJ'ing or silly overtaking.

I dunno - the times we live in (grumble, gripe, mutter......)
