I'm fairly new to riding on Edinburgh's roads and I thought I had bus lanes worked out but an incident today suggested otherwise.</p> <p>Basically today I was riding down past the meadows area when I spotted a bus behind me. Unfortunately I can't remember what number it was but I was pretty confident it would need to stop at the next bus stop. As such I made a decision to stay in the normal lane of traffic so that the bus could go down the bus lane to the stop.</p> <p>The bus driver however had other ideas and stayed in the right hand lane. He beeped at me and gestured that I should be in the bus lane. I moved over to let him past as I really didn't fancy arguing with someone who is at the wheel of a double decker bus. </p> <p>He then drove past and indicated left to pull into the stop just ahead... was I in the wrong place? Should I have been in the bus lane? </p> <p>Any advice would be much appreciated as my confidence is a little shaken.</p> <p>Thanks<br /> Zen </p>
