Basically there’s an understanding that no ones going to be up for merging in turn as that would involve a collective, courteous attitude we don’t posses. So, being realists, we form one queue, wether it makes sense to or not, which at least is compatible with our ‘me first, fuck everyone else’ style of driving.

The other way to look at it is - if they wanted everyone to drive in the nearside lane where you would like them to they would have started the cones earlier. If a usable lane exists you should use it then merge in turn at the obstruction.
