I had an idiot do this to me last night, dead ahead stare as he clamped himself to the bumper of the car in front. Then when I moved in behind he and his horrible little kid in the passenger seat were laughing at me and giving me the finger in their mirror. Then the traffic ahead moved off and he stalled his crappy old Focus and couldn't get it going again and was furious when I just casually drove round him. Sometimes Karma gets people, or they just end up being victims of their own inadequacy.

HGVs are among the worst at merge points or just not allowing traffic to join their lane. Just today, on my way home from the office I notice that the HGV behind me is tailgating to prevent a BMW from merging into the gap which used to exist behind me.
I just slowed right down to a crawl, forcing the HGV to virtually stop, creating a gap in front of me for him to move into.
Live and let live, FFS. And yes, Mr angry in the HGV did lean on the horn at me. Bless him!
..And on the flip, yesterday I was in traffic for the runcorn bridge. Queuejumping I just slowed right down to a crawl, forcing the HGV to virtually stop, creating a gap in front of me for him to move into.

arses were pushing in from L2 over the solid chevrons to the exit and stopping the entire "not going to the bridge, just the ringroad" traffic flow from happening at all.Merge in turn is fine for 2-1 on a road, I do empathise for "exit lane backed up, but I'm a
so I'll push in" types. Driving an HGV in that must be stressful - not allowing a -gap must be effort; driving peroperly would mean everyoe in a sprinter / vectra / white leased repwaggon just nipped in.One day plod stood there waving fhem to stay in the lane, now that would have been good to see. Imagine having have to drive all round again and get in the correct tunnel.

Years ago, drivers would keep left at the entrance to the Blackwall tunnel, way past the dividing solid white line, then would pull over to get in the tunnel lane. This is because the left lane was virtually empty.

I saw that several times at the exit to the ramp up to the flyover (A4-M4) on the A4 just west of the Chiswick roundabout.One day plod stood there waving them to stay in the lane, now that would have been good to see. Imagine having have to drive all round again and get in the correct tunnel.
The cops parked on the hatch and flagged all the cars trying to avoid the queue on the slip road, forcing them to carry on. One guy was so angry he got out to argue his rights, and found he had the right to a ticket (for what precisely, one can only surmise). They even pulled some out for late joining on the slip road, (when they'd noticed the police), and forced them straight on as well.
All very satisfying. Traffic flowed so much more quickly on those days.

Why is the Fiesta apparently parked up on a residential driveway? Surely it should be in a police compound or in a breakers yard or the insurance companies choosing?
3rd Party maybe, in which case the owner might get it returned home to avoid storage costs. Police will have little interest in the car as no-one was seriously injured.Silver940 said:

The main problem on our roads in the UK is that drivers do not have any patience these days.
So what we see in that video is a van driver forcing his way in to a non-space due to lack of patience.
If there were injury as a result surely the van driver would be held at fault?

Merging in turn is not a difficult concept and the Swift driver is a total cock for trying to prevent it, although the van driver should have just accepted he'd met a cock and let it go.
The ST driver above beggars belief, there was turns of space to tuck in behind the Astra, or even between the astra and the van did he seriously think there was room for three abrest there?
