Default I'm undertaking so I have right of way!

Typical example today.

I'm in fast lane behind a BMW which pulls into middle lane behind another car and I over take both.

At this point I am now nearing my turn off, so indicate and pull into the middle lane ahead of random car.

I continue to indicate and check mirror to move across into the slow lane, ready for my exit.

Only to see BMW toss pot undertaking random car in the middle lane.

Not only that but he's throwing his arms around at me and shouting some bollocks as it's my fault for cutting him up.

He even give me a look when we pulled up alongside each other at the lights mind.

I've had this happen as least three times in the last month or so.

I used to work for an undertaker. Right of way was not usually an issue.

What ever you want to call them Russ.

I use them as they were intended.

In fact, I've been complemented on my lane discipline by a traffic office.

He was less complementary about the speed I was doing.

sounds about right to me

tbf, people leaving it till the last minute to turn off - to gain one car length - are often a pain in the arse

happens at the Gatwick turn off on the M23 all the time

thing is, you follow them off and it's clear they know the road, so it's not unfamiliarity and what's the point of causing all sorts of hassle by the late moves?
