Cycle lanes are designed to keep cyclists safe in their own lane, some road users also think they should be able to use them to avoid waiting in a queue of traffic.
Here we see a few drivers move into a cycle lane crossing a solid white line in the process.
The fine for using a cycle lane is 3 penalty points and £100 fine, local councils can also issue £70 fixed penalty notices.

hi and welcome back to another video on our left we’ve got a con off cycle Lane and the rules around these are if it’s a solid white line you can face 100 pound fine and three penalty points and the council could also entering a cycle Lane driv and a cycle Lane can issue a 70 power fine this is what how people treat cycle Lanes let’s have a little look what people do here they don’t want to wait in this big queue of traffic there’s the first one coming from me behind now they don’t want to wait but once one person sees them going it soon starts other people will start doing it there we are now Taxi Driver doing it private Tire driver sorry would you do the same thing would you in the queue or would you risk1 f and three points or a potentially 70 fine let us know in the comments

It’s the same in Litherland by Ford Cemetery where a bus lane goes to a left turn only lane and there is a specific place to enter the bus lane to turn left but most people don’t and enter over the solid white line to avoid the queue to go straight on! It’s even marked clearly on the road as to when to enter the bus lane to turn left but they still cross the solid white line to avoid the queue
Let's be honest, the cycle lane shouldn't be there… Or, at least that wide. Catering to cyclists is all good and well but let's not pretend the lanes get half the use they were built for. Manchester is the same. Big cycle lanes everywhere but I can drive 200 miles around the city and spot three people on bikes if I am lucky. Gotta love the tax wasting though…
But on that note and rant aside, anyone breaking a solid white marker into any cycle lane should be a fine and repeat offenders should be points and a fine.
