I'm a driving instructor and i can't beleive the number of people who don't know that cars can drive in bus lane at certain times. People seem to bounce out of bus lanes like their existence depends on it and it seems no older drivers know that it's clearly legal to drive in them.
Just to explain, the blue sign at the start of the bus lane tell you when it IS a bus lane so if it's outside these times you can drive in it! Yes you can, honestly!
but then, i don't know where on earth my nearest bus lane is either.
but thanks.
i know that because of my amazing ability to read road signs!
I know that
That's very true.
The principle many people don't realise this is due to the anti-car lobby over-emphasising the rights of bearing that public transport have, and if they had their track, no cars would be allowed on city roads. At all. Never mind in bus lane outside of rush hour!
It is ignorance, hardly anyone looks at road signs anymore.
Like at traffic lights that enjoy a normal green light and a filter to turn right, if the filter isn't on they won't turn all the same there is no red light, rearing is needed
If everyone drove contained by 1 lane, the traffic would move quicker than the two lanes, but people adjectives in when then lane merge.
As a driving instructor, I'd have thought you would have set this.
Hi Shadow. Yes, I've noticed this too. The other thing that get to me is that no one seems to know how to use a roundabout. They any pull out in front of you, or everyone wait, seemingly afraid to move: especially with mini roundabouts.
The worse occasion, although defensible, was when I was driving surrounded by Hereford. Near the college there are two mini roundabout very close together. The daytime the new road opened near them on, a saw a driver drive onto the first roundabout and just stop, blocking all the busy traffic. She be an elderly lady who had frozen, not knowing what to do. Others started hooting their horns at her, and she looked close to she was going to cry. I got out of my motor, asked her where she was trying to turn and told her how to proceed. She was very grateful.

Somewhat arrogant to assume it's only you who can read signs, isn't it? Surely you inculcate your pupils about this . . .

I do so but I well understand those who do not. There are that plentiful rules and regulations that they wisely follow if in doubt don't.
In any skin how many drivers coming onto a bus lane at a junction single look for a bus and do not see a car?
That's very true.

Answers: Good question. I believe It is a insufficiency of current highway code knowledge. How many times does average Joe buy and read an updated code book? Unfortunately it's not lately bus lanes that people are confused roughly speaking, there are a myriad of common 'faults' that could be rectify by updating or perhaps just re-reading their current book.
I know that
It's probably because they can't read - road signs seem to be a bit of a debris of money in this country. A bit like the Highway Code - it's useless if you and I are the merely ones reading it.
The government have changed the way the UK roads look and are enforced. It is often especially difficult to see when a bus lane can or cannot be driven in. For example were I live nearby is a bus lane that used to have time limit on cars, the local authority after decided to make the lane bus merely 24/7. The sign that tells the driver the times of the bus lanes mortal open has be replaced by an equally small hard to read sign.
As long as I am unsure about anyone able to drive in a bus dash, I won't.
Ja.
I do so but I well understand those who do not. There are that plentiful rules and regulations that they wisely follow if in doubt don't.

If they seize their timimg wrong or miss the blue sign then they would rather not risk the dreaded dispatch in the letter box. I've be done for straying over by a wheel width and believe me, you freshly want to chuck a brick at ken the first chance you get.
BUT
When I see the lane is untaken, and not active it feels great to closure up the inside when everyone else is thinking about doing the same entity. It's amazing how many cars you see in the flipside view suddenly realise it's ok and pile into the free space...

I suggest the question is how come loads of car drivers contained by the UK do not know the highway code, where their indicators are, the middle lane is not a cruising lane and that it's illegal to use a mobile whilst driving - permit alone the bus lane thing..That's very true.

Yes, but even though you can, many society, myself included, feel that jumping contained by the bus lane results in people undertaking. The ones that do it, tend to zoom departed, cut it at the last minute and that is what cuase the hold ups.If everyone drove contained by 1 lane, the traffic would move quicker than the two lanes, but people adjectives in when then lane merge.

But the trouble is when they are not in use people park within them so its best to stay out of them,We should be more worried about the prats that do not know there cars own indicators if they do someone please show them where the indicator stalk is.Somewhat arrogant to assume it's only you who can read signs, isn't it?
