I can't tell you how often I'll leave my apartments walking to the store just a couple blocks away and get there before someone pulling out from the drive at the same manages to get there, find a parking spot, &c. ...
Very similar here, we have cycle lanes and i've lost count the times i see lorries even cars using or parked on them, which i find annoying and their usually guys who use or park on these cycle lanes. Guess some drivers are too stupid to realise these coloured lanes are for cycles only or just totally ignorant.
