B3TA fixes the worldMoon Monkey says: Turn into Jeremy Clarkson for a moment, and tell us about the things that are so obviously wrong with the world, and how they should be fixed. Extra points for ludicrous over-simplification, blatant mis-representation, and humourous knob-gags.

Bicycle spaceI ride a motorbike in London too and always pull up into the green cycle area at the front of the lights. I've always thought that this was fine as it says on my tax disc "Taxation Class: Bicycle"

I'm sure that motorcyclists are entitled to use the green areaEven if they're not, I fail to see what harm it actually does.

Advanced stop lines.Some signal-controlled junctions have advanced stop lines to allow cycles to be positioned ahead of other traffic. Motorists, including motorcyclists, MUST stop at the first white line reached if the lights are amber or red and should avoid blocking the way or encroaching on the marked area at other times, e.g. if the junction ahead is blocked. If your vehicle has proceeded over the first white line at the time that the signal goes red, you MUST stop at the second white line, even if your vehicle is in the marked area. Allow cyclists time and space to move off when the green signal shows.
