Hmmmm havent been in town for a while now ,went in yesterday and used a couple of bus lanes also got snapped by a set of lights on Amber.
Seemed i had a careless day looking at it now.

That would be "snapped by a set of lights on red" then? Not just a careless day, but an expensive one too. Any more like that and it might result in a few carless days - Streaky

Cheers Ken,Yea ile concede they might of been amberyred but heyho who hasnt tried to tag on the end of a line of traffic before,used to be the old way when you drove round the smoke using traffic lights on conjested roads.
The way we used to drive and even a moderate driver then would struggle to hold on to his license these days.

It is entertaining though when there is a really long queue beside the bus lane then you whizz past the lot because it was out of hours of operation

That pocket GPS database is really useful, I can see on the map by the speedo which traffic lights not to risk it on and to anchor up when they change...

Lost count of the times I have done that in Aberdeen, to be greeted by icy stares from stationary motorists in the other lane.

I once checked with a traffice warden as to whether it was actually "Not a bus lane at that time as no one was using it", he confirmed it was, and when I asked him why no body was using it he said "Because their stupid".........
