Merging for roadworks

[Lakitu]

Here's the scenario, the 2 lane road you are travelling on had been getting dug up, forcing the outside lane to be closed.

Motorists are made aware of the fact that the outside lane will be closed by the "lane closed in 500 yards" sign put up by the roadworks company and again at the 200 yard mark.

You know there's always going to be motorists right at the point where the cones start, trying to squeeze in thus avoiding the majority of the queue.

Do you let the motorist in and let bygones by bygones?

Do you absolutely not let them in, they were made aware of it 500 yards back and if you had to queue, then why should they be allowed to skip it?

I look forward to it!!!!!!!

Oh yes, Toureman, just which law am I breaking?

There are signs effectively telling us to go into single file for roadworks. I am simply using the size of my vehicle to bring this about.

Do you think any police officer is going to take issue with this?

I can understand everyones comment on this BUT I know it takes a lot of patience to wait in queues then see the likes push in, Its not worth getting yourselfs wound up belive me, I have also done what another post has said use my HGV to try and avoid the PUSHERS but as it has been said it is iligal to do so, my answer is simple put another CD in the player and just ease forward NO STRESS

ok, I've been there, outside lane of a dual carriageway,sign saying road works 100 yards,The car in the inside lane was determined not to let me in, that was till the police car behind them pulled them over and had a quiet word.Result, I joined the queue, they ended up further back.
