    lol
    im only talking about for example the m25 the signs are showing a 'x' to indicate the right hand lane is closed yet people continue to pile down it cutting i at the last minute creating a jam for the people doing the right thing and getting out the lane

    if you dont like it then get out the lane. Every time i have done this the person beside me has always given me the thumbs up and flashed me back in:T:T

    If the lane is closed why are you in it??

    It's not up to you to Police the roads, hero.

    im not policing the road im just doing a slow motion merge rather than cutting in casuing people to break and have accidents lol

    im not proud who i have done it to i have done it to police who are late for lunch and think they might sneak up the queue. I've traded paint with a highways agency range rover who thought he could merge into the gap in front of me without warning.

    its the joys of the 100 mile trip on the m25 every day its pretty boring other wise

    Ah right, so you're doing exactly what you want to prevent. In a closed lane.

    I'm shocked you can't see the irony in that. Actually, I'm shocked you have a license at all.

    In that case, stick to rescuing damsels in distress rather than clogging up out roads with your idiotic driving.
  • ok sir hose

    i still dont think its as idiotic as the people that were flying down the lane at 70 next to stationary traffic

    Red 'X's are the same as red traffic lights and don't need nob eds to further enforce them.
  • exactly so people flying up the closed lane at 70mph is a dangerous pain in the bum

    So why do you feel the need to police it?

    Were you bullied at school or something?

    Then let the Police deal with it.

    What happens the next time you don your plastic police hat, and you prevent an unmarked Police car attending an emergency call?
