Yep, but the really annoying thing on some on-ramps is lights intended to 'ration' the number of cars joining busy intersections.
This means that the joining traffic all accelerate at the speed of the slowest truck / van and end up trying to 'merge' as a solid nose to tail line.
Even if the traffic already on the motorways moves over, you then end up with a line of drivers who have just joined - who seemingly have issues with their masculinity - desperately trying to pull out into the passing lanes as soon as possible to pass that slow truck / van.
And when they do they then tailgate the car in front in an attempt to bully anyone out of their way because they have to be first...
Audi and SAAB drivers usually, although I have noticed that the new Mazda 6 is becoming a favourite amongst the inadequate male driver these days.
Rant over.
