What's your view on motorcyclists who plant themselves in the cycle box beyond the white stop line, which is designed for bicycles only? Do motorcyclists know that this is the case?

Or scooter riders who use cycle lanes?

Oh dammit. You win. I lose. I can't resist joining in.
Did you know that at at noon you will find 45% of drivers on motorways breaking the speed limit, 48% of drivers in 30 limits, and 82% of drivers in 20 limits.

Yet you see a small group of cyclists not doing anything illegal, but irritating you by just being cyclists and being in your way and you find cause to complain.

Integrating a large number of cyclists with other traffic - in the few places where there is a large number of cyclists - is not easy.
What appears to have happened here is the cycling group has made it's way to the front of the queue at a red light.
They are entitled to do that, but they will have created a slow moving road block when the lights turned green.
Rather than having a pop at the (newly joined) OP, it might be more helpful if those who regularly ride in large groups in traffic would share their experience.

I saw a guy speeding in his car using a mobile phone at the same time - are all car drivers labeled this way?

They're arrogant planks. I swear one of these days I'm going to see a pack of riders blocking the road, blast my horn and just barge right through them. There is no excuse for their BS. Them and people who ride at speed through pedestrianized areas.

M27 was pretty blocked this morning. No excuse for their BS. I tried blasting my horn, but it had no effect and I did not think it wise to barge right through.

Yup, that has been done before. There was much death.

So you're on a motorcycle, and are complaining that cyclists filtered the queue, and made it so busy you couldn't race off the lights like you normally would?

On here they are

300km a week through London on a road bike.
They are traffic, as I've already pointed out. Go and look in the dictionary at the definition: traffic, and you'll see what I mean.
Do you realise that comments like this just make you look like an arrogant prick?
And there is no excuse for your coming on here and acting like a complete idiot, but that's not stopping you, is it?
