That's a common manoeuvre there - few people look at the actual lane markings. It's generally assumed that "the left lane is for Stone Road and so it's your fault".
I know somebody that was pulled up by a copper for using the left lane there to head into town - she offered to bet him his week's wages that her manoeuvre was legitimate and would be shown to be so, if they went back to look at the markings - at which point he found that had more important work to go to - parting with a "well, I wouldn't do it like that"..
Hopefully my growling will be emblazoned in her mind. Mrs King said that I would have come across as very intimidating. That is true, but in my view a few sharp words are better than a potential trip to A&E and an insurance claim.
