Why do some drivers swing slightly left (into my lane) just before doing a right hand turn in traffic?
I could understand if they were rally driving....... or they were a five year old kid on a bicycle in the park.....
At traffic lights though. What is the logic?
The key to dealing with them is to drive a shitbox and hold your ground. If you can drive a car that they at least think you don't care about mm from them sooner or later I figure they must work out that what they are doing is wrong. I suspect that most aren't even aware of doing it. If you try it, expect the occasional warning horn from their (there? they're?) error.
people who sit in the right hand lane when there are two lanes. Even if you are doing the speed limit...move over and let traffic flow. There are big signs on the highways that say "keep left unless overtaking".
I'll stick my hand up and say that I do that. The reason is the alternative lane, sometimes lanes, is/are torn up by heavy vehicles and I don't particularly feel obligated to inflict unnecessary wear and tear on my vehicles nor discomfort to my person just to facilitate someone else breaking the law. If you want to go faster than the speed limit (plus a bit actually), no problem. It's your licence and the fine (voluntary taxation) helps pay for things that governments provide just don't expect anyone else to inconvenience themselves to make it easier for you.
