    Right, i see this happen on an almost daily basis coming out of college (DKIT) turning right towards M1 at peak times (any time around 5pm).

    This is the junction i'm talking about...

    Traffic lights seem to take an eternity to change and all traffic is heading in one direction so it backlogs...

    Every day i see people overtaking in the left lane (which is usually empty) and then turning right and chancing their arm getting back in at the top of the right lane - some will quite literally enter a yellow box in front of first car turning right.

    If you're patiently waiting to turn right in a huge tail of traffic it's incredibly frustrating... but how do you deal with these guys? If a car is seemingly willing to hit you to move in to your lane in front of you - obviously you're not gonna take the hit, but at the same time these guys can't get away with it as they'll think they can do it daily...

    To make matters worse, buses do it too. I've seen one bus queue up in right lane as normal, only for one of his pals to to overtake everyone on the left and nip in on the right, in front of bus 1 - obviously a planned move by both drivers...

    What can you do? Deliberately crash in to these guys? :D Beep them, flash them :rolleyes:

    Also, on a sidenote, there is a dual carraigeway leading on to the M1 - speed limit of 60km/hr (80km/hr approaching motorway) - it's stupid, i know... but i reckon about 90% of traffic break the 60km/hr limit (and i'm on it every day)....

    In my 2 or 3 years driving that route daily, i think i've seen someone pulled by the guards once. So feel free to floor it there :cool:
