Foeism Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 To wait in a cycle box? I usually filter through traffic and sometimes where there is one, end up having to enter and wait in a cycle box.Cyclists don't mind, but cars do, no surprise there.

raesewell Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 If you want to stick to the letter of the law you shouldn't be in a cycle box, you should stop at the main stop line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithers Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 It's possible you might get a "allo allo allo, what's going on ere then"? from a passing plod. But I doubt it though, unless plod is in a bad mood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dynax Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 (edited) If you get a fine + points for this.. then you deserve it. Why?, the v5 clearly states Bicycle as the vehicle class, maybe the DVLA, should re-classify the description Need to make an edit, on the v5 the taxation class is Bicycle, but the body type is referred to as Motor Bicycle , Edited May 28, 2019 by dynax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimR Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 (edited) if you enter under a red light it is an offence of breaching an advance stop line/ failing to comply with traffic signals .( two sets of traffic lights so two sets of stop lines ) if you enter it and it is unavoidable to wait in it ie amber as you cross first stop line then it is acceptable however you may have to prove this is the case so don't just use it .as 9/10 they will have seen you commit the offence before stopping or if camera controlled .

Foeism Posted May 28, 2019 Author Share Posted May 28, 2019 Interesting.So really, I should stop at the first white line. Next to the car which is pi**ed at the fact I've filtered to the front, or now the side of them. I should also stop crossing the single white line where there is no cycle box then! Opps, again just to get in front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see what you are saying but why does the log book class it as a bicycle and not a motorcycle? as it is a two wheeled vehicle hence bi as in two ....cycle as in vehicle classificationhow it is powered is the decisive factor re ASL rule 178 of Highway code has the large bold words MUST NOT and the relative law to it .

Opps, again just to get in front. no stop behind car is safer and one tip i always impart for most ASL cycle boxes The space generally between the first ASL and central islands is sufficent to allow Emergency service vehicles to continue through the junction on the correct side of carriageway so staying behind first vehicle means they don't have to way up squeezing past you or offsiding into oncoming traffic .
