There is something related to rule 163.

No, I think it was OK for the motorist to have overtaken the cyclist in the
cycle lane.

Look at the other arm of the junction. A driver is overtaking a
cyclist within the junction and with obviously insufficient space.

You can't really infer that from a static picture. It might just be that
the cyclist was stopped to the left of the ASL and has pulled away quicker
than the car - if you were to see another frame 1 second later the cycle may
actually be even further in front.

Can anyone else see what is wrong with the picture associated with this
rule. (The one with the tick).

Martin.

There's nothing wrong with either picture, as far as I can tell. They
illustrate the point about advanced stop lines.
The left picture (one with the cross), it's okay for a car to be in this
position, if having past the first white line on a green light the light
then having changed through amber to red (amber means stop). But
ordinarily the car must stop at the first white line as demonstrated in
the right picture.

So do tell Martin, What is wrong?

It's a rule for motorists, and I can't see anything wrong with what the
motorist's doing.

I can. There is more than one thing wrong.

But yes.

Definitely.
I'd like to know what you think is wrong, and also pose another question:

To be legally enforceable is an approach lane required, and is the cycle
logo also a requirement?

I assume that some sort of 'approach lane' however small is required to
enable a cyclist to cross the first STOP line?

Oh - good - you acknowledge that it is.

Do you mean they all turned in to ****wits after I appeared here?

I don't believe you - Chapman, Ian Smith, Bilbo Braggins, Doctor Dann
and yourself have all been ****wits for some time.

You could not all have perfected your high standards in a short
period of time.

You are right - one swallow does not make a summer - you are not the
only one.

I see you acknowledge that it is indeed full of them.

Yet another statement unsupported by the evidence.
I see a pattern.

No, they are nearly out of the junction.
