Learn to drive!

Friday, 2 December 2005 ‡ 09:32

Driving along a dual carriageway, the second lane merges into the first, but this does not occur for another mile or two, so why the bloody hell do people insist on queueing in the first lane when it is perfectly legal to continue in the second lane up to the merge and join at the last moment.

Then you have those idiots who do not allow this legal move to occur because for some reason they believe they are correct in trying to not allow you to continue driving to the end of the second lane, so wedge their car in the middle of the road so you can not pass or those who just absolutely will not let you pull into the first lane at the end of the second lane because they feel you are jumping the queue.

Listen you idiot driver, it is a valid and legal move, since the road markings to indicate the end of the second lane and beginning of the single lane are about 5 meters ahead. Driving along those and trying to join the first lane is jumping the queue and is illegal.

There must be 1 in 3 drivers who does not have a clue about this and about indicating when changing lanes, lane discipline, merging, driving, concentrating, just general driving ability. These idiots should stick to using public transport, where we have (usually) and trained competent driver behind the wheel

How many idiots do i have to pass on the inside lane of a dual carriageway or motorway, before they realise the inside lane is empty for several miles and being in the first overtaking lane ('middle lane' to those idiots who don't understand and 'the 70mph lane' to those pond life who somehow have managed to gain a valid driving license). Use the inside lane when its empty, the purpose of the other two lanes are for overtaking, that's why they are referred to as the first and second overtaking lanes!
