Drivers entering bus lane a few metres before it ends to turn left

If it's 100m or less I don't see an issue as it allows cars going straight ahead to bunch up closer and more will get through the lights.

So in a way, it aids the other motorists.

BTW, I'm rural and don't have bus lanes on my commute

I dont understand how it is that you have to wait for them if they are in the lane on the left side of you?

OP wants to enter that lane (now that it has become a legitimate car driving lane) to turn left or whatever.
The main reason it's done I think as has already been said is 'do or be done to' like what's currently being 'done to' you. If I stay in the driving lane like yourself I just know there's gonna be a shower of cnuts coming down my left passing me out and then filling up the lane to the point that I then struggle to get into it, and as said, it actually helps increase the flow of cars getting through the lights. I would call it 'making progress' :cool: No nearside mirror is no excuse when it could be a bus or a cyclist undertaking you anyway.

I don't do this, I just drive in the bus lane the whole time instead :P:D

Some people are too easily annoyed.

Life's too short to be caring what other road users do.

that is definitely not true.

one of the worst things ever is people lane hogging. Need to be rammed of the road. All of them. GTA style.
