e) - post a thread on cuk with a poll and abide by the majority verdict.
Which will probably be "AndyW's mum always merges her lovers in turn".

**** it, I'm going to buy a battered old Hilux now as I hate these ****ers who don't follow the common rules of the road. For this situation you follow the zipper effect but no, there's always those ******* who don't, or won't...

Not all that concerned anyway as it is a Company vehicle and the minor scratches are no worse than have been routinely acquired over the last 3.5 years of off-road working etc. anyway.
Time will tell I suppose....
Hope she had a whopping excess though!!!

I only do that when the idiot on the outside watches us all obediently alternate before the final narrowing then rushes down the outside to get to the front.

B for me. There are 2 of these this near my house and i am more than willing to go into the side of the impatient driver.
The other one that gets me is people undertaking. I am quite a cautious driver and leave the correct space between myself and the car in front on motorways, there is always some tw*t who likes to overtake, so once i see them start the manoeuvre I accelerate so they can't get in front, then slowly close the gap between me and the car behind so they are actually further back than before.

Minimal damage to the rear passenger-side wheel arch of my Hilux, but considerably more to the front driver side wing of her Fiesta.
I believe she may be a little more receptive to the notion of merging in turn next time she negotiates that particular junction.
