Of course, it doesn’t actually tell us anything we didn’t already know. It’s obvious that any car could use the lane, the only question was whether the driver would collect a fine for doing so.
Ah, well. Who knows. One of these days the London authorities might really learn their English and start to use the word ‘may’.
Then we’d be really motoring.

I suppose if candidates attempted all the questions, they might get a good mark in Maths, but a poor one in English.
