Bit late to the party on this one
The British are known for their love of queuing
The thought behind it is if you were in a fast food restaurant with 3 tills open and the third closes, would people be happy in queue 2 if people kept walking up to queue 3 and then cut in front of them, there would be a hanging.

Smart motorways are anything g but, they put up a temporary enforceable speed limit without reverting back to the original speed limit , by law you have to remain at that speed limit unless told otherwise which is why they sometimes show the national speed limit sign again if there is a gantry available

There are not enough gantries which is why you get confusion over if a lane is open, closed or a temporary speed limit is in place

The official line I see in this situation is you are are supposed to merge in turn at the closed lane which does go against instinct to some if you are queuing patiently

What is annoying and dangerous is if there is a dedicated inside lane for traffic leaving a motorway and people seem to think it is ok if they go fast enough to pile in at the last second from the second or third lane regardless of how big the gap is which has lead to many accidents on roads near me.

I would imagine the drivers blocking the carriageway are committing an obstruction offence but Goldie is the one with the stripes :)
We all Had stripes
 
I would imagine her first advice would be "lay off the alcohol". That might be enough to finish him off!

Quite ironic , that only yesterday an American friend of mine (THP)and I were having the discussion that Americans are starting to think our way of using multiple lane highways and not passing on both sides is safer. The ratio of deaths per million vehs on the road in the US is around double the highest European number and approx 3 x that of the UK. There is a stats graph somewhere online, as it was included in our convo ( I know boring gits).
Where lies the difficulty of coming out of lane one, moving to lane two or three or four or 6 or whichever other lane necssary to overtake. Are drivers now so lazy and incompetent , that changing lanes to overtake is beyond them?
BTW for whoever said it earlier. There is no SLOW lane, there is no CRUISING lane and there is no FAST lane, nor has there every been. If you think there are any of the preceding, stop driving.
Oh and I'm using caps in the hope of it getting through to people, not to shout :)
I couldn't agree more it also applies to lane 4 hence my post #53and my answer I post #57 to a question asked by someone who shall remain insignificant and forgotten.Edited because of bad grammar and spellings before the edit police come knocking.
