ONLY NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW HOW TO DRIVE IN THIS COUNTRY - so they all queue in the nearside lane thus causing the queue to extend back 200 metres and block the roundabout/junctions etc. The few of us that take an interest in roadcraft and driving standards know to use the outside lane up untl the 'merge in' arrows. Except the mongo's in the nearside lane see this as pushing in and close up all the gaps because they think that the highway code gives right of way to whoever has been queing longest..

I've had enough and am making up some decals to stick on the back of the van, a kin to the ones on busses where it says 'let the bus pull out; highway code rule 28' or whatever it is. Actually, might just stick some bus ones on..

/rant.

So which rule number is it people need to go and read up on?
