Because too often everyone is travelling in lane 1 at the speed limit, since there's no need to use the other lane as traffic is flowing fine... only to have some nob hoon down the other lane well over said limit and try to force his car (it's always a bloke and usually an Audi or BMW) into the other lane in front of you at the very last possible second... There are certain merges locally where someone'll do that to you even if you're the only other car on the road, to the point where driving instructors now warn you to look out for it when on that particular road.
Wrong? Sure. Still happens, though. Same as drivers turning off using the wrong lane on the A33 Bypass roundabouts, even though they're clearly marked as Right Only... Usually the Might Is Right brigade.
how can you tell if someone is a foreigner lol.

I agree, I suspect a lot of people don't merge at the end because of the people that try to police the road because they don't like being overtaken, it makes those that know the whole idea of merging in turn decide it's not worth the hassle, I have it frequently on my drive home where I'm several car lengths from the end, someone will see me about to go past and dangerously pull across the road to stop me. I wonder how many insurance claims are because of people not knowing how to merge in turn.I am referring to stationary/slow traffic situations, where people seem to try and merge WAY before the merge point, causing the tailbacks to be larger than they should be, and slowing up the traffic behind. Use the whole road, and merge at the end. If everyone did it, it would significantly reduce the tailbacks in these situations.
Not quite what you meant, but the prevalence of drivers who stop way short of the junction when leaving a 'T', what's up they just want to drive blind, they are blind, or genuinely don't know the length of their car.but my gripe is with lane marking
it would be interesting if you could sell a Tesla Autpilot a dummy, if you were obscuring the junction marking in front of it, do they behave like lemmings? ?my gripe is with lane marking and painting them on the road so ****** close to the junctions. As soon as there is traffic they are obscured,
Too many to list but here are my top three.
3. Inappropriate use of full beam or ****** with aftermarket ultra bright white lights.
All the cars i've ever owned required a button to be pressed each time the engine is started, That probably means someone is that stupid they are going out of their way to turn them on each time.Some of these aftermarket LED/HID are getting silly, so bright but the aim is so poor, get them all the time in the lane next to you on the motorway and make me want to remove my drivers side mirror.
Off that hate, people who leave front fog lights on all the time. Do they think newer cars DRLs are just the fog lights so they decide to imitate that?
