Brimstone Rob Brimstone The only reason you get the above effect is because people don't understand the concept of 'zip merging' and block people who are making effective use of available road space. So what? Join the back of the queue, the traffic moves faster and other people's behaviour becomes irrelevant And how does the traffic in the soon to be closed lane achieve this? Reverse en mbutt to beyond the end of the queue in the LH lane and move across? Are you really as dumb as you demonstrate yourself to be with that comment?
merge in turn 1541What's the viola for? Playing a few Žtudes to pbutt the time in the queue? Not so. This has been argued out here several times in the (recent) past, and...
"So, since you can't persuade by argument you have to resort to abuse. What a shame". Sound familiar?
I suppose I should know better, but here goes.......
Given your insistence that people in the RH lane should join the back of the queue in the LH lane, and also given that on a busy motorway-dc that could be half a mile back, again I ask how you think this can be achieved?
When faced with a lane closure sign ahead, you have 2 choices. You can attempt to move into the open lane, I say attempt because the privatesheads already in that lane will buttume you are 'pushing in' and try to block you, most will almost certainly refuse to create a gap. Your other choice is to carry on in the hope that before the actual closure you will come across someone with a brain *larger* than a garden pea, who realises that effective road sharing requires co-operation from everyone, and does the decent thing. Of course the nearer to the closure you get, the more determined people will be not to let you in.

Think how much better it would be if the driving public would allow themselves to be educated on the advantages of merging in turn.
