So why weren't you on the inside lane if it was empty?
A valid point.But you did read he said London...?
85% of drivers down south can't manage to pull in when there is a space.

Pillock rather than knob I think. Or maybe a daft bugger because you forgot.....
It's just the 12 month itch, I'm used to swapping cars regularly and drift between barges, bangers and allsorts in between and I'm bored of it but have three years to run on the thing and a house where my money should be going 
but find myself trying to justify all sorts of cars to go alongside it...XDA said:
You mean waiting until the very last second once you've ran out of road, and then force your way in? Ok then...
No, I mean "using all of the road, like you're supposed to". There's a reason the lane is closed there and not 400 yards further back!It's the fault of people in lane 3 for not leaving gaps to permit a single car in front, and a single car behind. It's a very simple road system, that works fine if everyone isn't being a selfish a
hole who has to win some imaginary race in a traffic jam.wst said:

Funny, I thought the people who can't slot into sensible gaps, but instead barge their way in ahead of just three more cars before the merge were the ones who thought they were winning an imaginary race.It's the fault of people in lane 3 for not leaving gaps to permit a single car in front, and a single car behind.

Spending my time trawling the classifieds looking at all the cars I want then remembering I signed up for a four year company car and still have three years left to go on it
i browse the classifieds all the time . i have no spare money to change my car but cannot help thinking what if ?by the way db9's are looking like very good value for money
Being tailgated along a dual carriageway by a pillock earlier. The right hand lane was completely empty and the driver had more than enough time/distance to get past. About half a mile away from a roundabout I needed to take the third exit so I signal move over to the right lane and the tailgater decided to floor it, undertakes, and with less than 200 Yards to go notices the roundabout. Cue strobing brake lights and eventually the BMW stops a foot away from the middle island. This blocked both lanes for a few minutes as the driver works out how to start the car, find reverse and get going again. 
it wouldn't be forcing-in, if people merged properly. Because it is seen as sneaky overtaking, shoving out the way and showing off, people don't allow those others to merge in, which means the outer lane is generally more empty... which makes it more attractive to cut down the outside and the issue perpetuates. If everyone just zipper merged and left their emotions at home then we'd all be better off. The whole point of having an extra lane is for greater traffic volumes, but it can't be used because of this st.

I agree.It's the fault of people in lane 3 for not leaving gaps to permit a single car in front, and a single car behind. It's a very simple road system, that works fine if everyone isn't being a selfish a
hole who has to win some imaginary race in a traffic jam.But I think you need to re-read the OP. The knob carried on until lane 4 had ended and then forced in. That's how it read to me anyway?

This is it.t. The same people who are happy to hold a door for you completely forget their manners when behind the wheel.
The inconsiderate oafs feel their right to a 10m2 section of road is being violated by allowing someone in.
Knobjockeys, all of them.
Coolhands,
Sorry for the confusion ,but the inside lane was pootling along at about 38-40 in my estimation, and everyone, rather unusually, except bellend, was keeping a reasonable gap,less than the 2sec rule but not close enough for a Oh st emergency situation, so said bellend not only cut the guy on the inside to the left rear of me, he then got right up the chuff of the guy in front of him so he could haver enough space to cut me up and brake test.
Yes thats why i am annoyed.

The management 'company' (one guy and his wife) for our flat who go away abroad on holiday and leave nobody else to deal with emergencies and refuse to themselves while they're away.
Yes of course I'm perfectly fine with the roof of our flats leaking onto my bed until you get back.
KNOB.
