Wasn't there a society on PH which dealt with these matters?
I believe so. Sadly they seemed confused between people pushing in and people merging in turn who choose not to wait, lemming like, a long distance away from a merge point in a long queue alongside an empty lane of road thoughtfully provided.Stopping in a live lane which has "left turn only" markings on it with your right hand indicator on, whilst simultaneously crossing a solid white line and nosing into bumper to bumper traffic would IMO be stretching the definition of "merge in turn" somewhat.

Regular followers of this thread (and my rants) will remember a chap in a Bloom and Wake van driving like a complete twunt a while ago. Our paths haven't crossed in a while but this morning I was running a little late....
Doing thirty-ish in a thirty zone, caught as if I were stood still, tailgated for about half a mile and overtaken on the approach to a blind bend by Mr Bloom and Wake.
The Bloom and Wake van then left me behind (still doing thirty in a thirty zone) I guess doing around 45-50mph.
About half a mile later I caught up to the Bloom and Wake van as he had to wait at a junction.
Right and left on to a forty mile per hour road I followed the Bloom and Wake van up to forty and he gets away again (doing at least fifty).
Next junction crossing the A17 right and left on to a national speed limit road where the Bloom and Wake van sat in the middle of the road doing thirty five to forty for three miles.
Cross over into a forty zone and the Bloom and Wake van is off again doing 50+mph even past a flashing LED warning sign.
Short national speed limit zone to where we both turn right on to the A47 As I'm catching up I see him indicate right (for the first time) but suddenly change his mind and carry on straight nearly hitting someone taking the exit further up.
This is someone who works for Bloom and Wake an industrial electrical firm? If the standard of driving is anything to go by I wouldn't trust anyone from Bloom and Wake to change a bloomin' fuse.

Ah yes the old, "he must be doing at least 90!" as though you can accurately eyeball a speed figure from a moving vehicle in under a second.I think I'm going to be on one of those dashcam videos based on the pointing and lightshow I got for 'undertaking' a car yesterday.
I guess the video will be edited to leave out the part were the driver pulled into lane 2 and slammed their brakes on to set up the undertake but it all about the Youtube views isn't it?

The 40 year old sad wker (has a Boxster and pony tail) is probably in his bedroom editing it in his mums house as we type.

Slow clap (in both senses of the word) for the driver of the little red seat arouser that was alongside me on my left, pulled over and indicated (in that order) almost taking the front of my car off, despite a beep from me to try to indicate my presence. They then went across the front of me into the right hand filter lane, just missing the car in that lane too. Back window was obscured by black bags and i'm pretty sure they didn't have any glass in the drivers wing mirror. Or any eyes.
Slowly coming down from the adrenaline hit. I may need new pants.

We stock them. Size, colour?Slowly coming down from the adrenaline hit. I may need new pants.
A pick up truck came the wrong way down a one was street, I flashed him and pulled alongside told him, he said "thanks, I didn't realise" and carried on driving the wrong way down a one way street, there was just about enough room to turn around. Same thing happened in the same place with a lady in a BMW, she wasn't a knob because she turned around rather than keeping driving.
