The one joy I can take from this morning is being part of the collective action when the drivers in my one lane of traffic worked together to keep out the twats who went in the wrong lane going the other direction, who blatantly tried to skip past it all but got stuck, especially when they would've been better just waiting behind me when I was last in my queue.
