2-lane dual carriageway with heavy traffic moving at around 40mph. I'm in lane two making gentle progress past slower lane one traffic. Ahead at a following distance is a van which has come alongside another van in lane one. Both have good space ahead and behind is a golf which has been a little closer than I would like for the past mile, following me. Lane 1 is otherwise empty.
As I reach around 250m from my exit we have a slight incline, and the change in speeds make me decide that the van ahead isn't going to safely clear the other van, and leave room for me to do a sensible pass before exiting so I decide to slot in to lane one.
Mirrors confirm lane one clear and golf still rummaging through my boot, indicate, mirrors and the golf is moving quickly to the nearside. This is my blindspot but I suspect conflict, as I suspect a close into the gap I'm heading for. My exit is approaching.
What would you have done?
