Comments on: Motorbikes in bus lanes: where’s the beef? http://www.blogistan.co.uk/blog/mt.php/2009/01/05/motorbikes_in_bus_lanes_wheres_the_beef Politics, tech and media issues from a Muslim perspective Thu, 09 Feb 2012 17:32:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Ian http://www.blogistan.co.uk/blog/mt.php/2009/01/05/motorbikes_in_bus_lanes_wheres_the_beef#comment-40434 Ian Sun, 17 Oct 2010 18:11:07 +0000 http://www.blogistan.co.uk/ijwp/mt.php/2009/01/05/motorbikes_in_bus_lanes_wheres_the_beef#comment-40434 Hi Opening the bus lanes for motorbikes is great it makes things a lot safer for motorbikes, round my way they have installed signs that change when the bus lanes are in operation so they show a different sing telling cars to use the bus lane when they are not in operation. As for the cyclist groups...... Ok as a motorcyclist I am not that bothered by pushbikes but when they have total disregard for red lights and box junctions taht is a different matter. I have had to stop on too many occasions to offer first aid to cyclists that have been involved in accidents because of this. However, I would hope that motorcycles like myself also respect the cyclists that are using the buslanes by being curtious in the way they overtake. Hi

I can see the sense of being fined if you enter a bus lane during peak hours but when there is not a bus in sight whats the problem ?? London sucks and so do the people that run its parking services . I appealed but its like talking to a brick wall they dont give a monkies about you they just want your money. NEVER going to that dung heap again. just been DONE for being in a bus lane at night.

Buses are more of a pain. They take up the width of the lane (obviously) and if there are gaps they can be dangerous - tempting narrow canyons between buses and immovable railings railings. Motorbikes can accelerate out of trouble and I agree it's far better they sit in wide bus lanes rather than twiddle between cars in stationary traffic.

I agree that motorbikers should be allowed in bus lanes. It's safer for them and other road users. Not sure where my comment went?
