People not being able to take a round about properly and end up apexing it. And to top it off, they look at you like it was your fault.
People who moan 
also for example, A47 in Peterborough you have 2 lanes going into one at the Bretton gate junction. you see signs saying “Merge in turn when queuing” but for some reason whilst queuing you see people pulling out of lane 1 just to block a car that is driving down lane 2.
what a total git!!

and if the connection speeds a bit slow it tends to pause the movie which also peeves me off!!

Perhaps stopping driving might help keep the signal more stable…
Thanks,I never thought of that

…Motorists (and lorry drivers!) who, at an exit in the middle of roadworks, leave the motorway, and then go straight back on again in order to jump the queue of traffic.That’s what slip roads are for, exiting and entering the motorway.
But I agree about the rubberneckers.
Point taken on that score, but they are not intended as a means of queue jumping! When it’s done just to queue jump it makes the situation worse as they try to get back into the queue, o.k. they’ve got a few yards further ahead, but those who stayed on the motorway are held up even longer because they have to give way to the queue jumpers, and in my opinion in the case of professional drivers - well, it just isn’t professional. It creates frustration among those who are sitting in the queue and can lead to shunts and even more delay, as I witnessed only last week TWICE on my way down from Scotland.
You never tried it when they were widening the M1 then? J31 - J32. Used to work a treat and saved me loads of time.

Same on M62 e/b at J26. Can save you 10 mins going down there and back up the 3 mile long slip on the other side.
So I’ve heard, anyway.
Agencies, their under-hand, sleazy little world makes me feel dirty. I can’t live without them at the moment but can’t help but wonder if I’d be any worse off without them…

Also, if traffic merged earlier, it would move freer, because if someone gets all the way to the front, the traffic in the left hand lane needs to slow or stop to let them in.
I hate to agree with Rob
but it doesn’t make any difference. Next time you’re in a queue, if you stay in the outside lane until about 400 yards then indicate and wait to be allowed back in (it the person your beside doesn’t accelerate or slow down untill someone does and just drift in. Your life will be a lot less stressful, and yes I’ve done the blocking both lanes with another truck (and been bollocked for it) and almost having a heart attack trying to stop someone from getting in front of me. and to be honest life’s to short.

Me too Paul, and near heart attacks here as well. 
Eventually you see the errors of your ways though… 
As I was the one who said about opening doors & blocking yards I’ll stick to that & add,
[zb] that block lanes miles away from a lane closure, Brit Pete & Rob K, you’re both dead right 
The cones mark the beginning of the obstruction, not some ■■■■■■ in an artic who doesn’t know the law 
People who leave their truck at the fuel island instead of pulling forward to allow the next bloke to fill up
Gatehouse staff with attitude problems
Far & away the worst in my book though are the tossers that leave trailers/lorries with defects for the next bloke to sort out, going to hook up to a trailer & finding a bald tyre on it really gets my goat, the [zb]ing thing never went bald in the yard FFS 
Agencies that think that you’re going to work for less than £40 after tax and expenses.
my biggest gripe is when i run out of fuel for my zippo lighter and i forgot to get a spare can 
seriously though when you are emerging from a junction and cant see traffic coming from the right
cos its blind and when you pull out a nob head comes round at daft mph and blasts his/her sodding horn
for ages.
if they do that, i stop and get out, then they crap themselves
Wolves. Wolves got my goat only last week. ■■■■ wolves.
OK , i just got a goat, what next? 
Make mad love to it and then tell it story’s

I like to have a moan more than most so what a good thread this for people of my ilk. None of the poor driving you see on the roads really matters until something happens - it’s only a matter of time with some chumps, but like others above I find the risky impatient selfish cutter-ins amongst the worse, particularly those individuals whose time is so important that they go down an unblocked filter lane only to cut in as near as possible at the front of the queue - I’m sure the same people do it all the time, undertaking, cutting in and out etc. etc. and I bet many of them should not be on the roads - I’d like to be able to check their tax disc to at least have something substantial to report to the authorities (I hope). We ought to have a top 10 of worst driving by others, to vote on. What I do in the case of a marked lane closure with static traffic in one lane and nothing in another is go in the empty lane (quite close to the closure) and to not or slowly overtake traffic on the left, whilst keeping an eye out for emergency vehicles - this prevents the impatient from jumping the queue and speeds up traffic by not allowing it to bunch at the bottleneck, so I believe.No it doesn’t and you should be banned from driving.
So you’re saying I should be banned for “going in the empty lane (quite close to the closure) and to not or slowly overtake traffic on the left”?

So you’re saying that you "trundle along the lane at roughly the same speed as those in lane 1 "?
Then I deduce that you think you should be banned from driving.
I wouldn’t “block” the lane for 200 yards let alone 800 and agree that that would be stupid, but if after half a dozen cars fly by to ■■■■ in to the front of the queue in this situation then I will move over to prevent others from doing so, near the closure as stated above, to allow the traffic in the left to move quicker, thus making it quicker for all overall.
I did get out and have a word with a Gregory driver a few years ago on the A38 Devon Expressway after he blocked half the the dual carriageway for a good half a mile in this sort of situation despite a “use both lanes” sign - I believe he contributed to an accident by causing a longer tailback than necessary that stopped just after a bend and with people doing 70+mph round that corner there was a rear-ender. So there are obviously times not to do it and I rarely do anyway.
Alleged professional drivers driving in good weather with their front fog lights on.

The point is that if they wanted you to merge at 200 yards, 800 yards, whatever, then that’s where they’d place the damned cones. You’re supposed to use BOTH lanes until the cones start and then merge in turn, hence the signs “USE BOTH LANES” and “MERGE IN TURN” (the clues are in the writing!). If more people used the closed lane until the cones then it would be the accepted thing to do by all drivers, but because no-one except those with big cajones ever dares to drive down the closed lane because they’re too frightened of some pillock such as yourself swerving out from lane 1 and forcing them into the barrier as they’re driving past, then we’ll always have 18 miles of backed up traffic in lane 1 with other 2/3/4 lanes sitting empty when they could be utilised like they’re supposed to be.
As for my “trundling”, I drive along the closed lane at a speed which I think is appropriate for merging when I get near the cones. I do not come to halt in lane 2 if the traffic does in lane 1 as that would be stupid, and nor do I barge my way in when I get near to the cones. I will indicate left and either wait for a suitable gap or wait to be flashed. Legally I should not have to wait to be let in as each alternate vehicle should leave a gap for those in the other lane to zip merge, but because those that have been sat in lane 1 for the past 13 hours and 18 miles like a load of imbeciles get so worked up about it, I let them do their frothing in peace and merge when a gap appears or I get a flash from someone that understands the concept of zip merging.
