    Do you know this man?

    I see more and more of him these days.

    He's normally to be found in traffic queues on dual carriageways where 2 lanes filter into 1 and he always straddles the central white line such that nobody can get past him and "push in".

    I admit, I'm never the first to get into the left hand lane but I don't take the piss either. Just that fact that somebody actually takes it upon themselves to do such a thing is somewhat irksome.

    I see him every day. Why is he is outraged at the use of a lane?
    Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

      If I saw him every day, I think I'd end up committing an act of road rage!

        I do actually come across the same guy every morning, on the same stretch of road. An exit off a roundabout which starts as two lanes and shortens to one. There's always a queue along the left hand side, with one large Audi crawling along the middle of the two lanes to prevent anyone using the right side.

              I must admit I've never seen that one.

              How far in advance of the change to 1 lane are we talking?

                In my man's case, as soon as he hits the double lane situation.

                  Half a mile at Stonehenge last night.
