rules and etiquette are two different things.
Unless you are turning left, or the lane is wide and allows passing; pulling past cars at red lights only to slow them down when the light turns green will not win you any friends....Please don't, it just makes them angry

well I commute to work and back on the bike 3-4 times a week, though I'm mostly off the road and on bike/shared paths I think it's better not to pass on the inside if you are going to hold up traffic. And this is where the question came from, bike rider passing on the inside (Victoria road, Gladesville, Sydney) then we were stuck behind her for the next 200meter going uphill at snail pace.
Even I was frustrated and unhappy.
I'm sorry but I'll continue to ride past stopped cars.
Why? Because I can - its on of the advantages of being on a bike, I don't get stuck in traffic. If I wanted to sit behind a car and not pass it i'd drive. Commuting via bike ftw.
FWIW, motorbikes are allowed to lane split (ie go between cars) regardless of whether traffic is moving or not.
really?? I did my motorbike licence in Vic and got taught that lane splitting on motorbike is always illegal. Because motorbikes are not allowed to share lanes with cars so you can't legally pass stopped cars in the same lane.

Passing vehicles on the left is verbotten...
