I've driven for 40 years and been a driving instructor for over a decade.

The understanding myself and other instructors have is that when nearing the end of a bus lane, about a couple of bus lengths from the end, if the lane and your exit lane is clear then there's no problem cutting into the end.

​Particularly if you're part of a queue of traffic going ahead where you'll ease that flow. However last year I was given a ticket by Newcastle Council for doing this. It really irritates me that sensible driving seems to be secondary to revenue generation, where authorities treat every inch as a capture zone for their coffers.

What a ridiculous comment, almost as bad as to suggest when near the end of a solid double line system its okay to drive over it if its clear. Glad I taught my daughter to PASS her test.

This is more than ridiculous. I can't believe that you guys call this sensible driving :)) this is just.. wow
Now I can understand why there is absolutely no lane discipline in UK in roundabouts .. is due to instructors like you and your "experience"
