Even though I drive something like 35,000 business miles a year, I find it almost impossible to put myself in the mindset of someone who sees a 3 metre space and tries to insert a 4.5 metre vehicle into it.
This desperate need to be 'in front' is everywhere I accept (but don't like) that, it is just in this particular situation, which I have experienced many times, it is doomed to failure before it even starts, hence the question why?
As for my position, I was in primary getting ready to overtake all the stationary cars, that was another reason she was left with the back end of her car on the wrong side of the white lines.
Ahh well, no harm done, just slightly bewildering.
@mashton 's post is really worth bearing in mind. Most drivers won't supress that desire.
