Almost side swiped by a knob in an Aerobrights taxi. Reg No. NA62 HKZ. A red Citreon Berlingo. Coming off the Falklands roundabout @15.15 heading towards Sainsburys, theres road works of some sort going on, as I tootled along in my lane, this dickhead thought he'd get in front of me, almost putting another dent in the side of Percy the perverted Puma. All for the sake of a few seconds, followed the knobheadwankstaindishrag all the way to the Windmill roundabout.

In defence (sort of) of the knob - I almost did the same this morning as I realised (too late) that there were new cones set out stopping the 2 lane entry on to Chell Rd.

He put his foot down and was going for it, couldnt look at me as we got level at the Windmill roundabout. I wish they'd get rid of them 2 lanes for good. There is no way I'm goin let anyone in after I've sat in the queue for yonks.

Enjoying a drop of red.

There may be a defence for being in the wrong lane but there can be no defence for driving an Aerobrights taxi.

You are the cause of the queue. If you bothered to read the signage you are required to use both lanes and merge at the end. Hopefully with WAR under construction these queues will soon be a thing of the past until then until then stop being a ***** and show some care and consideration to your fellow motorists and we will all get to our end destinations.

You are bloody joking?!
I queue up for what seems ages and some prick comes roaring up the second lane, and I'm expected let them in? No bloody chance. They can queue like the rest of us.

If you & all the others that sat in the inside lane actually used both the lanes as intended & then merged in turn at the end (the way the road was designed to be used) then maybe YOU wouldn't create the need for any "prick to come roaring up the second lane". YOU are the cause of the problem (& the extended traffic queue) not the drivers using the lanes in the way they were intended

@Glam are you one of those who sits in the yellow box instead of using the empty second lane and are you one of those drivers who operate their vehicle without due care and consideration of other road users who are using the road as designed?

I think it would be better worded if it said 'Straddle' both lanes. The term use both lanes is obviously interpreted as you have a choice but both will take you to the same destination - T'FORD. Somewhere in god's country.

A woman after my own heart :D. If it was 2 lanes all the way to the roundabout it would work, or if there weren't any lights when it went back down to a single lane, but because the lights at Sainsbury's cause so much queueing those bellends who try and circumbent the art of queueing patiently by flying past all the stationary cars in an attempt to jump the queue further up absolutely boil ma p*ss :). I never let them in either............

This is just not true because of the lights. So the traffic is completely stationary most of the time i.e there is nowhere to merge to..... derrrrr

it shouuld be returned to a single lane to save all the stress. If there weren't any lights holding up traffic every 2 minutes I might agree with you, but as there are, I don't :)

Nope, when I was taught to drive, way back in the early '90s, I was told, you only enter the yellow box if the exit is clear. Something I believe still holds.

Exactly. Thank you x

What's so hard for you women drivers to understand? If traffic uses both lanes there's no empty outside lane for anyone to "jump the queue". If you look at the road markings on the roundabout & on Queensway approaching the junction there's 2lanes marked for A518Telford. Even the buses use the outside lane. The 2lanes are there to reduce the congestion at the roundabout.
I wonder, if you're in stationary traffic on the motorway do you move to the inside lane?

But they don't reduce congestion cos the lights keep stopping traffic. How difficult is it for you men to understand? If I'm stuck in traffic on the motorway it doesn't matter what lane I'm in, cos none of us is going anywhere are we?!. Now those men who insist on swapping lanes every 10 yards as one lane starts moving 5cm a minute quicker.....sheesh!
