There didnt appear to be any reason to change lanes and he wasnt indicating...and certainly wasnt looking in his mirrors either.
I agree with the DCW - he was a dhead and is now fked!
It takes 2 to tango

Looking at the high viewpoint the DCW was an HGV so not as agile as a car or van.
Maybe not a full HGV but certainly a 7.5 ton size truck I'd say. As noted he definitely had time to avoid that one, but obviously thought the van would pull back over when he started on the horn.I don’t get why people try their luck with trucks, there’s probably minimal damage to that hgv who will carry on his journey and the driver will probably be in another truck the day after carrying on with life. The pickup will be fked, so will his caravan, his holiday or whatever trip he’s going on, and hel be car/caravan less until they are fixed and itl cost him in repairs/insurance.

It only doesnt make sense if once theyve merged , people jump ahead and slow down the merged into lane
Hold station - you're doing your bit about using road space by not merging in too early
If enough people held station, it helps everyone. Jumping ahead only makes it worse
You’re doing it on purpose, aren’t you? Hold station - you're doing your bit about using road space by not merging in too early

Yep doesn't make sense to me either - drive up to the merge point and just do it.
Its not fair that cars in the right hand lane get to make more progress than the decent drivers who selected the correct lane way before the merge point. So you end up with nobbers swooping into the right lane and blasting past all the decent drivers only to sneak in at the very end of the queue thus holding everyone else up. Put it this way have you ever made MORE progress by just being in the left lane a mile before the merge point? No? Thats thanks to drivers like you cutting in at the end of the merge point. Copper was right to book him

I really hope this is not serious. But it certainly seems to be the attitude of many people at a merge point.

The roads seem to be full of fools who can’t grasp some of the simplest concepts.

The problem in the UK is that people treat driving as competitive, rather than collaborative.The roads seem to be full of fools who can’t grasp some of the simplest concepts.

Makes more sense to just block off one lane entirely it won't add much traffic The roads seem to be full of fools who can’t grasp some of the simplest concepts.

Yes of course lol. whenever there's a merge lane I always blast all the way down to the cones and merge there, other drivers know I have no choice but to merge or hit into cones so I rarely have issues doing so. If you try to merge before the cones you're more likely to be stopped by miserable drivers though. As for the video without audio it's useless, far more likely the DC's car had some illegal mod on it.

For a simple concept there seems to be too many interpretations of it
If one tooth of one side of the zip is passing lots of teeth on the other side - does that work?
