People that go in the middle of two lanes and block it at a turning should be fined

[Ellreejee]

They hold every one up, especially at a turning when they are wanting to go right over two lanes of traffoc. If they had just got into the lane wouldn't of blocked everyone turning left onto one lane of traffic. Hours of my life is wasted each month by this.

Yep. Selfish gits.

I never see this happen - you must be very unlucky to be wasting hrs a month on it!

Can I ask that you take a breath and explain what you mean? I don't really understand your post.

If you're on about drivers who, when turning 90 degrees left, swing out in to the middle of the road, despite being in a small car, then YANBU. Someone nearly drifted in to me yesterday at a T junction. They were going left, I right, in our own lanes, and they nearly made contact.

No idea what you're on about OP, but there is no shortage of inattentive and pig-ignorant road users, is there?

I don't understand what the OP is getting at either. I don't suppose it will affect my day too much.

Am guessing that this is about drivers who stick to the middle lane, instead of moving over to the left early on, then just before the intersection they try to get into a (usually quite full) left lane in order to turn left at the intersection.

I'm guilty of doing this when I have absolutely no idea where to go, and either the Sat Nav is being a pain in the arse and not giving me clear instructions, or the lane markings aren't there early enough that I know which lane does what.

Read your post twice and I'm still not quite sure I understand.

If you're talking about the fuckwits that turn early and are on the wrong side of the road as you approach a junction, then I agree.

because I'm avoiding doing work I will try to interpret this post.

OP mentions people turning right across two lanes of traffic so I think it's saying that there are roads where there is no separate exit for cars to enter while waiting for a gap in the oncoming traffic to turn right. Therefore, those vehicles have to stop in the right hand/fast lane, which is damned dangerous.

I commute along a road like this--it's very busy, has two lanes of traffic in each direction, but anyone wanting to turn right has to stop in the 'fast' lane and can wait ages for a gap in the traffic. People bombing along in the right hand lane then get stuck behind the stationary car until it can turn. They really should just ban rights hand turns.

How did I do Although that doesn't explain why they should fine people if it's a permitted action. Maybe the OP's road doesn't allow right turns, but people do it anyway. But it that were true then the police could fine/charge someone for an illegal manoeuvre. No, still confused.

I agree Op! I have to use a left hand filter lane every day and the amount of twats that sit in the middle of l'r lanes is so annoying. Their lights don't turn greenuntil some time after the left ones grrr!

I wouldn't fine them though, no way. I'd shoot them

YANBU, there is a junction very close to where I live where you get a filter green arrow to turn left. But people sit in the middle of the road, rather than going over to the right if they want to go right, so you can't go. Grrr.

Yanbu. I'm not even reading it as being solely at big traffic lighted junctions. I was thinking it's equally applicable when one lane opens to 2 right at a t- junction, which is ample for 2 vehicles, and some prat sits in the middle waiting to turn right.
I used to add on 15 minutes to one work journey because it crossed a busy A road, and every day there'd be a load of morons going up my lane (to go straight over) in order to get to the front of the queues for the A road and then cut in. Meanwhile those of us waiting to go straight over would have at least 4 light changes each waiting for the queue jumpers to move
