lets play devils advocate,

so all but lane 1 are closed, how far back should people all pull over to lane one? 1/2 mile? 1 mile? in the traffic jams I sometimes end up in it could easily make a 3 mile tailback into a 9 mile one if we all pulled over as soon as we knew? The police feel it is adequate to graduate the lanes at that point so who are we to decide better?

Sorry, but I am and will always be someone who uses the whole of the road to make my journey as comfortable as possible(and that is actually what you are taught when learning to drive and on IAM courses). If thats by avoiding queuing for 2 miles I don't have to then so be it.

Of course being a biker I'm use to not queuing!
