Here in the land of the free, ther is clearly a behaviour/brand crossover that is clearly identifiable
1- Car comes up fast towards you in the outside lane of motorway and flashes lights - BMW
2 - Lane closure ahead everyone moves over but this one continues right up to the lane close - Lexus
3 - Waits for you to move uot of the outside lane by pushing right up on your bumper (are they being towed by you in some Marty McFly way?) - Toyota
4- Comes up fast behind you in outsaide lane, you pull in and they pull in right on your tail - Nissan
5 - No use of the indicator - ever! - Land Rover (or anyone from Florida)

any more......
I mean, you should use both lanes until the actual closure as it prevents one long huge tailback in one lane and then zipper merge. It’s a common and advised thing to do as it keeps more traffic moving.
 
You know the storm drains and debris thats at the sides of roads? Well thats where the DVLA decided cycle paths would work. They don't. Thats why cyclists go on the road. However, a cyclist should move over when they see an opportunity to allow faster moving traffic through. All part of the kind and considerate all road users should have.
As should tractors.
Speaking of which, I passed a tractor on a dual carriageway, and the tyres were baldy and flat,I thought tractors should be roadworthy.
 

On another note. I thought to be caught speeding the van or whatever had to be facing you anyway (or be on the same stretch of road). Not as i was caught a year ago going away from a van that was hidden on 2 roads away to the side where i was. Plus my speed awareness course was in the wirral,which was my 1st ever trip there :lol:
 
Im gonna commit murder soon.

Was driving the other day, 2 utter bellends on bikes blocking the whole road, if my Grandson wasnt in the car I would have got out and beat them to death.

People need to stay off my roads.
No, people can stay on the roads, knobheads need to 'KIN MOVE

In general I'm a calm driver and a calm person but deary me, the limit gets pushed a lot. The missus gets bad road rage and she doesn't even drive, that's how bad it is ffs
 
Disclaimer: I am getting older and a lot more mellow these days. That said:

I reckon things have changed a lot since lockdown. Regular, say motorway, drivers seems a lot more sensible. If I set the cruise control to 70 mph I overtake more vehicles than overtake me.

In town, good grief. Some people seem resentful that they have to take notice of other vehicles.

If driving is a little bit too much for you then take the bus*

*Or the train or a taxi or just stay at home and do everyone a favour ...
Middle / Right lane hogs and people who are seemingly averse to accelerating to anything above 50mph when joining a motorway.

And people who consider the second countdown marker of their exit to be about the right time to consider finding a space in the left hand lane.
 

There's an incredible number of bulbs who love indicating last second and pulling out on me with about a 2 inch gap between us.

Like, you don't have divine right to manoeuvre just because you signalled. It's signalling intention to move when safe to do so. Oh, try reading the road better too. Thst way you might not find yourself quite so close to that slow moving truck.

Kin idiots.
