Drive slowly (safer and avoid aggression) all the way to the end, use all the road available, better for everyone. The sooner you merge, the longer you have to wait, your choice.
In my experience, particularly on busy British motorways like the M1 and M6, I’ve observed that when there are a large number of vehicles-especially cars, lorries, and trucks-merging can become quite challenging. My belief is that when all drivers queue in the open lane, it can help create a more orderly flow of traffic. This approach minimises last-minute merging, which often leads to abrupt stops and starts, potentially causing delays and increasing the risk of accidents. I also think it’s important to consider the varying mentalities of drivers. Some drivers may be more patient and cooperative, while others might adopt a more aggressive or opportunistic approach. This difference in mentality can impact how merging occurs, especially in high-stress situations. When drivers queue early, it can lead to a more predictable and less chaotic environment, which benefits everyone on the road. While I understand that some advocate for zipper merging, I feel that in situations with heavy traffic, it can lead to confusion and frustration among drivers, especially if not everyone follows the expected merging etiquette. By queuing in the open lane, we may be able to reduce the likelihood of sudden braking and maintain a steadier pace. I respect differing opinions on this matter, and I’m open to learning more about other perspectives. Thank you for considering my view, and I look forward to further discussions on this topic.
The Highway Code states 'Use both or all lanes until merge: This decreases waiting time in traffic'. So you may not like it, but the cars that chose not to wait in your 'queue' were driving correctly.
Life is filled with rules that help maintain order, safety, and fairness in society. However, rigidly following rules in every situation may not always be the most practical or compassionate approach. That’s where common sense and courtesy come in. Common sense allows us to adapt to the nuances of real-life situations. It’s the ability to evaluate circumstances and make decisions based on practical reasoning rather than blindly adhering to a rule that may not fit the context. Courtesy, on the other hand, involves thinking about the well-being and convenience of others. It’s about empathy and respect, which can sometimes mean bending a rule slightly if it benefits everyone. In many situations, rules provide a framework, but common sense and courtesy allow us to navigate the complexities of life more effectively. Balancing the two helps us maintain order while fostering cooperation and understanding in our interactions.
Whoever made this video obciously has no clue. Its these people who merge into one lane several miles ahwqd of the traffic redirection that are causing a lot of accidents and frustration by making the que 3 times longer. Traffic is supposed to merge where the lanes are brought together at a distance equivalent to about half the length of an exit-ramp.

Absolute BS, learn to drive. 800 yards till lane closure, do you HAVE TO use all lanes that are still opened. You basically want to make the queue 3 times longer blocking previous roundabout. You merge at the closure not at arbitrary thought point. Go and learn rules!
@@adriversdiary I think he is showing his knowledge. Those lanes were NOT closed at that point. I bet you think along the lines of slow lane, fast lane and not their correct names and purpose.
I'm an ex international 44 ton, HGV1 driver, as soon as I see the lane or lanes ahead closed sign, "I MOVE OVER" to the one or two lanes that are not closed ahead, on say a 2 lane motorway/dual carriageway, in a 44 tonner, I would move half and half into lanes 1 and 2, preventing anyone from "leaving it to the last second to cut in", which is no good for anyone in reality, and IF it was 3 lanes into 1 and I was in a 44 tonner, as soon as another HGV is level with me, I would just give the driver a thumbs up, so he would sit half and half in lanes 1 and 2, and I would sit in half and half in lanes 2 and 3, leaving enough space in front of me, for the HGV next to me, to safely move into, eventually, oh, and I'm "NOT BOTHERED" what any "irate Dinky toy car drivers" comments here say. so as SOON as yer see the lane or lanes ahead closed sign, MOVE OVER, into the correct lane or lanes, to keep the traffic flowing.
You are a terrible driver, your advice literally contradicts the Highway Code which states Use both or all lanes until merge: This decreases waiting time in traffic.
@@joej3595 YOU have obviously NEVER driven a 44 ton truck, over one million miles, in the UK, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Poland, Czech Republic and Ireland.
Thanks for your opinion and sorry for delay to respond. I wish we had many drivers like you so that all the vehicles would run smoothly without long waits.

I'm an ex international 44 ton, HGV1 driver,
as soon as I see the lane or lanes ahead closed sign, "I MOVE OVER"
to the one or two lanes that are not closed ahead,
on say a 2 lane motorway/dual carriageway, in a 44 tonner,
I would move half and half into lanes 1 and 2,
preventing anyone from "leaving it to the last second to cut in",
which is no good for anyone in reality,
and IF it was 3 lanes into 1 and I was in a 44 tonner,
as soon as another HGV is level with me,
I would just give the driver a thumbs up,
so he would sit half and half in lanes 1 and 2,
and I would sit in half and half in lanes 2 and 3, leaving enough space in front of me,
for the HGV next to me, to safely move into, eventually,
