Merge in Turn

[Face for Radio]

In the evening heading Northbound on the A1, around Stevenage there is a merge in turn for the third lane into the second. Progress is always very slow here for obvious reasons.

Anyway, what with the levels of imbeciles that wanted to barge as far forward as possible before merging, instead of using a readily available spot further back and causing things to slow because of arguments, the Police were taking measures to prevent this. I got my passenger to snap this picture.



Go.

Looking at the photo the police just seem to be leaving a larger than "normal gap" (to reference normal see how close a thrusting rep gets to you in dense stop start traffic) to the slowing traffic in front, everyone appears to have their brake lights on so he is just creating a defensive gap.

Nothing in that picture suggests he is blocking the right hand lane the car in front is only 5 lengths from him.

Not sure what the OP saw is what he hoped it would be.

Well, I'll take back my comment if that's the case

That's what it looks like to me.

The gap was previously a lot larger, by the time my passenger thought it would be a good picture, got their phone out and took a snap, it had shortened a fair bit.
