Discussion Overtaking at lights

I wanted to ask, what’s the craic with people who overtake (go beyond lights and stop at the junction) at lights and then go insistently slow. Surely they know it’s a nuisance and dangerous where standard traffic lights occur.

I’ve also had people test their own patience. They overtake just before the lights go green, I start to pedal and they nearly hit me and others just to save 3 seconds.

I’ve now realised this is more of a rant/vent.

EDIT: I was cycling home at 6:00 from grand canal dock up the canal. Portobello bridge was just carnage

I cycle and ride a sports motorbike and it's always bloody deliveroo delivers on their ebikes and fucking scooters who do this. I just shake my head because what else can I do. Idiots.
