Is there some edict down at TfL HQ that london bus drivers have to use up
both waiting lanes at traffic light junctions if theres more than 1 lane
in
a given direction? Are they deliberately trying to slow down all the
traffic
behind as they slowly drag themselves across the junction when the lights
go
green?

Today I got fed up and just went around a bus and stopped in front of him
but
he still tried to edge me out of the way by creeping up really close to my
car. Luckily for him he damage it but what the hell is with these morons?

I have noticed bus drivers driving dangerously close behind me. I'm talking
about a few centimetres. It's ridiculous

It sounds like they've mistaken Bob Newhart's sketch[1] as a traning course
rather than comedy.
