I think that's the whole point here. There's only one reason that cars wait in those queues -- and that's because they can't to anything else! It's not because they don't try to barge their way to the front (they do, and if I'd had the mind this afternoon I could have taken photos of drivers doing just that), it's simply because they can't. By picking my way through the queue when I'm on my bike, I'm not behaving any differently to any other road user. The only difference is that I actually have the ability to back up my intentions, and they do not.
