Don't get me wrong I do agree with you and 2010. Because this is what makes it hard to explain. The problem is "it so depends on the situation".

I think both of you will agree with the above i will be very surprised if you don't.

Yes I think both points are right, and as you say it depends on the situation.

This actually happened to me in the test. I would always move into them in normal circumstances to avoid obstructing traffic, it's common sense anyway.

But as per rotr, i did not do this on the test and waited to the left and indicated until it was clear. i got a grade 2 for this and the test explained at the end that i should have moved in and not obstructed traffic.

Anyway, thank god it wasn't a grade 3 and i passed. I guess the instructor saw the rotr weren't always right in this case, he was cool anyway.

He was right i think because common sense must prevail in everyday life, a rule book cannot always be applied.
