The roads around Bristol Temple Meads are such a cluster fuck. Roadworks for well over a year. Not helped by the usual idiocy of drivers. Outside the entrance/exit is a very large yellow box but every fucker ignores it. This morning it was particularly impressive. In the outside lane there was a queue of traffic meaning the exit wasn't clear which didn't stop a lady in a posh Audi stopping literally halfway across. The inner lane was clear, but for some reason someone in a small red car thought it great idea to enter the yellow box, but then try to get into the outside lane by waiting behind the Audi. Then a very large HGV attempted to get around the red car on the inside lane as he was straddling both lanes.
And then the lights change. Me and my commute buddy were at the front, I set off and signaled to the lorry to stop as he was still creeping past the red car. I signaled my exasperation to the lady in the Audi about her monumentally shite driving. I didn't see it but apparently she gave Lucien behind me the finger.
Yellow boxes are there for a reason.
