Had a strange one yesterday in the car.

Stopped at a red light, turning left. Cyclist came up and went to front, perfectly fine as there is a marked space.

Light goes green, cyclist doesn’t move, horns start going off behind me.

The cyclist waits, wavies oncoming traffic turning right (who should wait in centre of junction as marked until space)

Then the cyclist finally goes, I was baffled and the cars behind me seeing red from what I can hear from their horns.

I gave them the benefit of the doubt in case their chain had slipped or something but they should have moved out of the way if that was the case once they realised they couldn’t go. I will never know why they didn’t go but I was just glad they did before the lights went red again.
