    Aye they do. Along with taxi drivers and council drivers. All think they own the road.

    Amen to that. I had a run in with one this morning who thought it was ok to block the whole road waiting for his passenger rather than pull into the side of the road literally just two meters down the road where there was a gap. Selfish, ignorant, poor drivers in the extreme (not all of them but the majority in my experience).

    Pretty sure there is no law that says busses have to use a bus lane - but someone has got things wrong if its faster for the bus to ignore it than use it
