Potatoes, potatoes. I would have said it would be more to do that he was a selfish ignorant c*nt who was mistaken that he was arbiter of who's time was more important than others and moral compass needed a reboot by a good kick in the gonads.

Came down a DC towards roadworks. Plenty of signs saying to use both lanes when queuing so I stayed to right which was plainly clearer. After passing about 1/4 mile of traffic we get to front where signs are to merge in turn.

My passage naturally brings me to pull to left behind caravan, but some bloke in a little Toyota (who to be fair has presumably had people overtaking him for 1/4 mile) objects to this and pulls up to left with intent of closing gap.

I stick to plan and eventually he drops back (and flashes lights to indicate his displeasure).

Wife told me off for being aggressive in forcing him to let me in as per signs.

Was I?

Perfectly fine in my opinion. The sign said merge in turn, and at that point you did so. If the road works people wanted you to merge in turn 1/4 mile back, the sign would have been aaallll the way back there.

There is a permanent Merge In Turn point on a DC in a town near me. It's amazing how many people are unable to read and grasp this pretty simple concept and take umbrage to motorists merging. Idiots, the lot of them.
