As for merging, I'm always on the look-out for these signs: 
Whilst everyone is roaring by on the left, trying to battle their way through the traffic to the front of the queue, I'm poodling along in the right lane, knowing that I don't have to merge  |
By coincidence I had to explain to A-junior why the bike in front of us tonight could not just set off as soon as the light turned - just before the taxi ran the red light going across our path.
And yes, the bike rider did express his opinion of the taxi with a bird...
