Can we somehow the eradicate the peculiarly British practice of deliberately lengthening queues in the mistaken belief that the protocol is to get in lane early and scowl at or actively block drivers who stay in the other lane “until the last minute” and then merge. This is pig ingnorance of the worst kind.
In all other civilised countries they understand merging in turn and form two orderly queues up until the point where they have to merge in turn.
Arseholes who straddle both lanes to stop “queue jumpers” are simply extending (potentially doubling) the length of any queue. This is common practice on the way in to Hertford from Welwyn on the 414 and I have even seen lorry drivers (vocational drivers no less) playing this utterly selfish “you’re not getting ahead of me” game.
If we stayed in two lanes no-one would be “getting ahead” and their British sense of “fair play” would be satisfied and the queue would be half as long (so not sodding up a roundabout a mile behind)...
