This is like watching some toddlers argueing over the who plays with the action man. You are never going to agree, both sides think they are right, especially now it has turned into a name calling excercise.
Let's talk about Piers Morgan, everyone can agree that he (at least) mildly annoys you, right?
It's Friday....

It's not "being a wanker" though, it's using the road correctly.
It's the wankers that straddle both lanes or refuse to let you merge who are the un-civil ones.
Hence my use of quote marks around "wanker". |

Yeah, you do see that a lot, and sadly I don't think that behaviour is going to change, more and more people these days seem to be desperate to be first, or ahead or whatever their mindset is.
Or. they are following the rules of the road, which are to merge in turn at the lane closure point, which also has more chance of keeping the traffic moving than the queue for hundreds of yards in advance and then have fights when someone goes to the end approach. My wife is actually a good example of someone who ends up going to the end, but not because of some jumped up desire to be "first". No, she stresses about moving into slow/stopped traffic with an empty lane in front of her, being a slightly nervous driver. So, she ends up, normally, getting to the end before being made to move into the lane. |

Well if you’re all happy to sit there all day and let every queue jumping wanker push in front of you then carry on. I’ve got places to go, things to do and want to get there like everyone else but I’m fucked if I’m going to wait 20 minutes in a queue to let some boy racer come straight up and push in. Sorry but you won’t change my stance.

Have to say the merging from Mannington towards the railway bridge is great. Most people alternate without issue.

You wouldn't sit there for so long if you and everyone else used the full available lane space and then filtered in turn without getting angry and road ragey. |

Someone needs to brush up on their Highway Code and the concept of merging Staggering how many are unaware that you should merge at the point of lane closure as opposed to 100’s of yards beforehand |
