Trucks move out at junctions to let people out then get undertaken by impatient drivers.
It's your life, just don't ruin someone elses because you need to drive like a tw*t.

Good point actually, yesterday I decided to move out into the middle lane as a busy slip road up ahead, modified Saxo driver decides to try and undertake me. 

Fast lane and middle lane had been clear for some time should he have decided to overtake before.

I just put my foot down a bit and forced him to slow down then come into the middle lane. 

WHY!!! WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS!!!!

Because I'm a prick. 

I was in the correct lane FYI.

Oh and when I say "forced to slow down" it wasn't like an emergancy stop, once he'd seen the oncoming slip road he simply slowed down and came in behind.

I could also ask why you'd undertake, I find it dangerous.

I agree that lane discipline has gone out the window in this country and people drive as though they are in a bubble but unlike the u.s.a we don't have a freeway system so your brain is always looking for people overtaking on the offside, of course you should always be checking the nearside too but 99% of people are not expecting someone to untake them on the nearside and at the speeds we drive in this country it's just dangerous.

I like to stock up on McDonalds BBQ sauce pots, and if someone pisses me off while driving I open the pots a bit and throw them at the other cars windscreen. 

I might not actually do this, and would not recommend it one bit.

I'm not one of the ones who do it near junctions.

Also I'm not one of the tossers who change from the middle lane to the inside lane at a junction, making it hard for people (who think) to plan their entrance onto the motorway.

I'm not trying to say I undertake every single person who is sitting in the middle lane, you can see those who have sat out there far too long and they aint going to move in..

My biggest fear would be something like my father on his deathbed or missus seriously injured and needing to get home in a hurry.. 10 years ago if you were in a rush you could easily fly down the outside lane to get somewhere.. Now people are so arrogant that even if you flash them, they will not move to prove a point!Scary times.. Yesterday I saw a cop car stuck on the A1 behind a car for about 800m and in the end he undertook her...

Have seen this so many times its unreal.

Gavv8, how tight is the checking of road-worthniness of lorries? A lot of the incidents on the road I commute on (A14) have lorry failures in common. Last one was a lorry fire, and the otherday I was overtaken by a solitary lorry wheel. Plus the number of blowouts I've seen is insane.

The way it is now it's not how you drive, it's how the other people drive. Since i got my golf i'm constantly watching for people to make sure they don't crash into me. Had someone do it just today on the way home. The car was in the inside lane, then all of a sudden he's an inch from my bonnet.

I might start having to do this to prove a point lol

Then you're not paying attention?

And it's not arrogant to flash them?

I was paying attention. He was looking bolt forwards and just switched lanes without checking his mirror or indicating
