Isn't that going to happen whether you wait in line or not at a red light? Some group of cars will need to speed by you, because they need to rush to the next red light. [IMG]/img/vbsmilies/smilies/duck.gif[/IMG]

I suppose if you can pass cars while they are stopped at a red light and you don't hold up traffic when the light turns green again, then that's okay. Sure, some of the drivers won't like it as it smacks of "the cutting into the line is bad" type behaviour that a lot of us had drilled into us in kindergarden school.

However, if you pass cars at a red light and then they have to pass you again because you can't keep up with the flow of traffic, which is probably going to running at the speed limit or more, then that's not okay. I often see riders slide past the cars at a red light, then they've got a line of cars following them having to wait to have room to safely pass when the light turns green. Some or maybe all of the cars may finally be able to pass, but sometimes they hit another red light and the cyclist again passes some of those same cars on the right. Then those cars go have to work their way past the rider again if they want to be able to drive at the speed limit. Now, I wonder why those drivers get so irrated?
