Merging at roadworks on a Dual Carriageway

[Coldfuse]

Hello all, I need to ask a question. I watch a number of dashcams videos on youtube, mostly just for fun but every now and then you see a dashcam owner driving like (what i think to be) an idiot.

I watched this one earlier: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yr3bJLGB1Z8&lc...

The clip that starts at 1:39 that involves the dashcammer, in this instance the video poster aswell.

I posted in the comments of this video:
"At 1:39, i'm not sure who was driving the camera car, but that was almost an accident that would have been 100% your fault. You are supposed merge in turn on a bit of road like that. ALSO its your legal duty to avoid accidents or creating a situation in which an accident could occur.
The camera car forced the car using lane 2 to (i can't quite see it) almost hit the cones? which you could argue would be the camera car either driving dangerously or driving without due care and attention.

Ignoring the law for a second aswell, you sped up to close the gap and you called him a bully for trying to merge legally. How important are you for needing to be 1 whole car length further forward?!

I've been driving for along time and zip merging seems to be one thing no one in this country (the UK) can get right."

I'm not sure of the specific legislation, but how correct am i?

I'm quite happy to be proven wrong here.

Thanks for the replies, you have basically confirmed what i thought. The driver is being a tard.

If i was driving the dashcam car i would let the Skoda move in, because letting something minor like that go over "being right" (even if you are a tremendous spacktard) is better than having an accident.
