I work in Brentford and on my way home have to get on the M4 from the A4 from under the elevated section. Stupidly, People queue from the Chiswick round-a-bout like idiots when all I do is scoot down the outside and cut in last minute.

However, there's always some idiot who tries to stop me joining the lane by pulling really close to the car in front but looks straight ahead and pretends not to see me. What's it with these people? It's hardly going to make much different to their arrival time if they simply let me in? Arggghhh!

Because everybody hates you and everything you stand for or have ever done.

But don't let it get you down.

They consider you queue jumping and don't understand merge in turn.

There's not an arrow on the road saying your empty lane's right turn only is there? wink

Because they're thinking "I've been sat here queueing for ages, this tt thinks he can just skip the queue and push in, I'm going to stop him."

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.

So if I'm reading this correctly, you drive up in the extreme right hand lane (which is dedicated to traffic passing under the flyover to join the A4) and at the very last minute you attempt to cut into the two lanes of traffic that have been patiently queuing to join the M4?

I wouldn't let you in either! I'm been stuck behind inpatient drivers like you before who feel that they are far too important to wait in a traffic jam and due to them being so short-sighted, I'm now stuck behind them and can no longer proceed along the once previously empty lane that leads to the A4.

You're quite correct, but if you look at the white lines seperating the right hand lane and the inside two lanes, you'll notice that the spacing is very close together which effectively signifies that you're in a slip-road that will join the A4. Not long after the traffic lights there is also a Chevron seperating the right hand lane (leading to the A4) and the left hand lanes (leading to the M4).

If you are in a line of traffic and you perceive that some flash git in a big flash car is not doing the decent thing by flying down the outside of a long queue and attempting to push infont of you how would you react?


Driving down the right lane up to a roundabout and going all the way round thus avoiding the long left lane queue does not count!

It's not queue jumping, it is merging in turn.

Because the car he drives makes absolutely no difference in this case. An impatient driver will be impatient no matter what they drive.

My wife drives the R-Class (for the kids). I'm in the cabriolet.
