Queue jumper?

[shifty_uk]

I'm beginning to think I must be a loser for sitting in lane on the motorway for 20 minutes as opposed to jumping into the empty/faster lane and trying to barge my way back in after gaining considerable ground or before the empty/faster lane ends.

I'm sick of sitting there for what feels like days only to have imbeciles ramming their way in at the very last minute and nearly taking the front end of my car off. Whilst pushing the rest of the empty lane(s) into the hard shoulder as they can't stop in time.

Do you generally jump the queue or sit in lane and wait it out?

Got a new job a few months ago and I'm having to suffer Glasgow's M8 during rush hour, which is where I'm coming from really. I'd never done any rush hour commuting previously so the idiocy I'm witnessing every other day now is crazy.

There's an inside lane which heads off the motorway but all the exec saloons, transit vans, blonde bints etc jump into it and right before it ends they stop dead in the lane and force their way back in.


I now find myself trying my hardest to block them out but it just causes more annoyance. I've nearly had my car hit 6 times over the past week.

I'm not talking roadworks or obstacles here.

This part of the road illustrates my point:

Picture lane 1 and 2 full to the brim whilst lane 3 being full of idiots pushing in at the last minute, often very carelessly or without signal when they should've stayed in lane or got back into lane 2 about 4 miles up the road. They also hold up lane 3(the people actually trying to exit the motorway) and force them onto the hard shoulder.

edit: I know you can't see the hard shoulder in this picture but it's just slightly further up the road.

Blocking people who are trying to merge in turn is retarded and drives me up the ****ing wall, people who would try to get from lane 3 to lane 2 in that picture are obnoxious ********* who I hope catch fire.

Indeed. I'm courteous, I'll stop and let anyone get through but when it comes to blatant dangerous queue jumping, I can't stand it.

The thread wasn't even intended to be about merging or obstructions?
