Queue bypassing using slip roads

Socialists call it queue jumping and have to get annoyed by anyone "getting ahead"

WTF? Have you never heard the disapproving tutting from the mainly right-wing pensioners in a Post Office when someone "gets ahead".

Basically everyone hates queue jumpers yes, but left whingers incorrectly label folks gaining advantage through imagination and risk taking queue jumpers so they can hate them too.

They tut at queue jumpers, they don't tut when I get up early before the queue forms or go when it's not pension day or use another post office, for example. Also if I run to the post office and overtake them on the way.

All of these things are equivalent to taking a route around the queue on the M25 and all perfectly fine.

No, he just does bit-parts in other people's vids. You can always spot him - they're usually saying "" at the time

:haha: you so-called advanced drivers never fail to parody yourselves. On the one hand you'll argue for hours about how to hold the gearstick and how to use the handbrake yet the moment something bleedin' obvious comes up like the basic use of the sliproad as another means of overtaking slower cars you all start huffing and puffing.

I'm glad this sub forum exists for normal people to get a little chuckle from.

See, that's your first mistake. Advanced driving isn't about getting to the front at all costs. In fact, a fairly big part of it is understanding when not to bother

Good ones for it used to be both sides of the Dartford crossing on the M25:

Southbound - leave at J30 (A13), straight over the roundabout then down parallel with the motorway past the entrance to Thurrock Services and back on at J31.

Northbound - leave at J2 (A2), straight over again following signs for Dartford. This takes you parallel to the M25 up to the next roundabout at J1b.

The above only really worked when the traffic was rammed waiting for the toll booths. Now that it's done by ANPR cameras the traffic isn't often travelling slow enough to make it worth the effort.

I have no issue at all with people being enterprising but it really boils my when the northbound are quite incapable of looking more than 2 feet beyond the end of their front bumper and succeed in blocking the J1b roundabout for crossing traffic. The knock on effect then causes total grid lock on all of the approach roads, particularly on the western side. The crossing 'improvements' haven't stopped this from happening every single weekday.
