Lorry drivers who think the are the Police
Discussion
when joining the M5 from the M6 the road works take it from two to one lane with the left lane merging into the right.
I am usually in the right lane anyway as it is less hassle than trying to merge.
Anyway twice last week a lorry has taken it upon themselves to crawl along the left hand land creating hundreds of yards of free lane in front of them and basically forcing other vehicles to merge earlier. Why do they do that, they are not the police or traffic officers? All they do is cause a greater tailback as the traffic cannot fill the available lane. If people want merge later on near where the cones start then that is up to them. I think there is even a sign stating to merge near the end.
