Pet Hates on the road!

[Mustard Dave]

You are joking ? You have to be right ?

Why would I be? Where is the sense in leaving a lane empty instead of using all the available space and merging in turn when the lane actually closes?

It's called pushing in ! It's not a welcome invitation to infuriate other road users and make their journey longer. Just saying

And that is the problem - it isn't pushing in. It is merely merging later, with the benefit of reducing the length of the tailback by the length of the queue of single file traffic to the actual lane closure. Here is a pretty picture of how others do it:

If you take all the vehicles in the right hand lane and put them behind those on the left, you will see why moving over too early actually has a worse effect.

And finally, the sheer number of d*ck heads who think its acceptable to park across my drive!! :@

Anyone care to comment on that?

Donning my ADI badge (really) and a nasal-sounding trainspotter's voice, I'd suggest that, actually, Sirs and Sir-esses, there's no damn thing called the "fast" lane. Unless of course you drive a company owned BMW, Audi, or Mercedes (or, indeed, vans), in which case and quite rightly so, there are no rules to observe except those which dictate you get everywhere on time and in as much of a hurry as you can because your work-based appointments are so much more fucking important than anybody elses.

Indeed, on motorways, we can call them either lanes 1, 2, and 3, and even 4 in areas more voluminous in traffic weight, or we can call them the normal driving, normal driving and overtaking, and overtaking only lanes.

Will that do.
