Whats more annoying? queues caused by **** drivers.
Discussion
So there's been a crash or the cops have stopped someone for speeding in the rush hour (or something equally un-interesting)
Whats more annoying to you -
The rubber-neckers that decide everybody behind them should get to work/home late because they want to slow down for a good look
The folk that constantly swap lanes and nearly take your bumpers off every time they decide to pull one of their manuoevers
The ones that drive down slip roads etc to jump the queue, because obviously its more important they get somewhere before everyone else.
I'm trying not to rant cos I know it happens everyday but i'm still
about spending twice the time needed on a slow/stationary motorway because of the above.

Out of the above I think these are the ones who hack me off the most especially when the queue doesn't go beyond the start of the slip road.
Of course they're not breaking any highway code rules but then neither are the people who don't want to let them in.
The lane skippers are annoying but not if they're getting in front of someone who leaves a half mile gap.

Do this all the time. Left hand land of the M25 clockwise frm J10. Come off and return at each junction. Whats the problem with that?
It slows the traffic slower as people then have to let you back in further up the queue!

No they don`t !!
You shouldn't ever let someone in from a sliproad. There is either a gap or there isn't.
What annoys me is drivers who do NOT use the sliproad but insist on forcing their way onto the M/Way before the sliproad starts. Why? you are just joining a slow Q earlier and it usually means someone has to slow or stop for them. Use the full length of the slip road and ease in.

Even worse the is the idiot that drives down the central lane when the Mway is sparsley populated at 50-60 mph.
You dont want to undertake just incase ,and you cant go round the right of them because someone with right of way is moving down the R/hand lane.
Before you know it everything is bearing down on you and your nearly in a multiple.
These 'kin idiots are a danger to society and i wonder how many bad accidents have been caused by these cretins as they gayly float down the motorway unaware of their actions and the near miss's they have just caused.
Bring out the red smiley time

No problem with that in my book but not what I'm referring to in my post. The ones I refer to are the ones who sneak down the inside lane of a two lane slip that then force their way in, almost driving up the kerb, like I say even more annoying when they could easily have just joined the back of the queue, they sem to think that nobody has noticed them.

When its busy it doesnt hurt to leave a big enough gap to let them out or if its not busy i move to the next lane to let them out,never bothers me to do this
If I am in the inside lane on a busy M/way I always do leave a decent gap for others to enter at slip roads. This isn't me letting others in, it is just the appropriate gap to leave. What i meant by not letting people in is that you shouldn't slow down just so someone can fit in to the traffic, the gap should be there to allow them to slip in.

See it everytime I am on a busy M/Way and often in town sections as well, drivers cutting across the chevrons and double whites before the actual entrance begins.
