The O/P would be in the outside lane.

Does this work?
Perfect now - You have about 1 mile to ensure you get in the clearly sign posted lanes to get on the M4 - If you don't then you are trying to cut in, plain and simple.

Yup biggrin

If the OP is in either of the two M4 lanes then he's OK (the two M4 lanes merge into one BTW) and it's a merge in turn scenario.

If the OP is in the A4 lane (lane 3) then he's completely in the wrong. It's signed A4 from a long way back and mahoosive signs on the side of the road as well.

Which lane are you in OP?

And why the heck not? If you want to queue jump, buy a car with dents and scratches all over it, so people won't risk getting hit. Its a good psychological weapon.

Or Don't queue jump.
It's not queue jumping, it is merging in turn.
Yes, however 75.5% of the public on the roads are angry and miserable. Another 24.4% are angry, miserable and ignorant. The last 0.1% understand that it's called a 'merge in turn' and will let you in.
Agreed!

I was coming up the A2 near Canterbury last week and there are road works and at least 2 fooking great signs before the inner lane closes saying "merge in turn".

I was in the inner lane with at least 4 cars behind, got to where the cones started and the lane narrowed over at least 600 yards (a long distance); I signal intent to move right check my mirror and as I do so spot a dick head in a range rover pull out 4 cars back who then floors it up the outside lane, as it gets to me the lane has narrowed to where I really need to pull over soon but I had to slow to almost a stop to accomodate him has he was doing a fair speed and still accellerating - as he passes he blasts his horn.

What a tit!

If the OP is in the very right hand lane marked "A4 Only" then he's a tosser of the highest order....if the middle lane with the clear merge in turn then the others are clearly in the wrong.....

If he says he's in the middle lane, he's lying! wink

That's always backed up to the roundabout, just as the inside lane is. He's basically a piss-taker who doesn't care about people (like me) that get stuck behind him when they want to join the A4 and he doesn't care about the people who've been sat in traffic for 20 minutes waiting to join the M4.

Exactly! Thank you.
Can you show us some pictures of the junction with the signage indicating "Merge In Turn"? I look forward to it.
You need a sign to merge in turn? Are you some sort of automaton? It is the logical thing to do. You have 1 mile of dual carriageway and it goes to one lane. is it better to have a single lane with 1 mile of traffic on it, or 2 lanes with 1/2 mile of traffic on it? merge in turn is simple, and it works, unless you get a purile git who thinks he is more important than anyone else.
No I don't need a sign, usually because I have enough foresight to be in the correct lane.

What I don't agree with is people bombing down the outside lane and cutting in, usually dangerously, right at the end. It's arrogant and rude.

You're queue jumping. I do it myself and fully understand why people won't let me in. The best idea is to try and subtley merge (M6 south at the A14/M1 junction is a good example, it goes into two lanes at the end of the slip road, ideal)

When cutting in directly in front of someone, I always feel it's poor form to do this with easy targets such as old ladies in Micras. The young thruster with some sort of Bluetooth device is more fair. Always thank post merging and respond politely to V signs and "wker" gestures

Good advice CampDavid. I'll try this rather than give the "birdie" to some bloke who's stupidly and unnecessarily sat in queue for 20 minutes (probably Robatr0n loser)

This is the junction I mentioned earlier.

2 lanes one side of the roundabout going in to one the other side.

There is no left turn (even though it looks like it).

Left ought to be for going straight on only and the right for those who need to go back in the direction they have come from which many have to as they can only join the wrong side of the carriageway. People using the RHS lane hold them up for ages.

Learn the highway code if you don't want abuse. Anyway, I don't take the M4, I'll be the guy giving you abuse for unnecessarily stopping me from driving along the lane destined for the A4.

Cock.

Calm down! No one's died. You secretly wish you'd gone down the RHS too right?

In that case... OP you are a knob, having a big Merc does not give you any more rights than any other road user, gain some humility and get to the back of the queue! rolleyes

So is the OP admitting he's in the wrong, using the wrong lane and to top it off posts a thread moaning about in inadequacies as a driver?

Maybe you ought to get some driving lessons if this is the case that you are using the wrong lane and trying to barge in.
