Why the fcensoredcky bocensoredox do some lorry drivers feel the frigging need to block both lanes of a dual-carriageway when the signs indicate two lanes going to one in a 1 or 2 miles time.

Had some absolute pillock slowing *everything* down to his speed on the A303, going in and out of DCW and SCW.

Doesn't the highway code state that both lanes should be used and then merge in zip formation??? It wasnt even as if we were moving at vast speed so an early merge would be a safer option. We were doing doing stop start!

Grrrrrrrrrrrr!
I would have actually paid vast sums of money to have a gun to either shoot him or his tyres. Cretin!

they do it to stop the Fcensored Dcensored head that always leaves it right to the last minuit to force his way in to the front of the queue despite the fact that hundreds of civilised people have formed a civilised queue to filter through the obstruction.

And why the Fcensored is it that the Tw@t is always in a German car?

TO55ERS!!

Too true, and most things in life I feel I can confidently deal with in terms of stress but for some reason this really really gets me going!

But it isn't a case of leaving it to the last minute! In my experience, there is usually vast amounts of distance left to run before a safe merge is needed. There are two lanes there for a reason...

Yes, there are 100s of civilised people queueing up but unnecessarily. Use both lanes and merge in turn, and then a lot of congestion problems will be reduced or removed.

Well, peopl ewouldn't have to wait 'till the last minute to 'force' their way in if most drivers understood how 'zip merge' worked.

What's the point in starting to queue a mile before the lane drop, leaving a mile of empty carriageway?

And yes, I'm the tt in the German car.

Perhaps they just want to keep a nice safe gap in front. Too many drivers have no idea that stopping forty plus odd tons of truck is not so easy as stopping a car.

Totally understand and agree with you. Would never intentionally cut anyone up, let alone someone who could cause as much damage to me and my car as a 40 tonner.

But we were going at walking pace. Approximate stopping distance - less than the length of a gnats knob

You are wrong, basically...

Two words (which have been said on this thread and literally hundreds of ones before it)

Zip

+

Merge

There is no benefit to anyone using one lane of a two lane road to queue in, this is *not* the checkout at waitrose, it's a road network. The same rules do NOT apply, the HWC says zip merge - therefore you zip merge, it's as black and white, and as plain and simple as that.
