The footage highlights the inside lane of the carriageway becoming congested, and an inviting open space opening up ahead.

Drivers have over 400 yards to move over to the insideTikTok/@dills_taxi
TikTok user @dills_taxi took the dash cam footage of the long lineup as he moved along in the outside lane.
The traffic begins to increase in the left-hand lane – with most vehicles slowing down.
Drivers had over 400 yards to move over to the inside, but all chose to do so almost immediately.
As the roadwork cones start to appear up ahead, the poster moves across and filters into the left lane – with plenty of space left to do so.
The TikTok user captioned the video: ‘Merging done right.’
The poster said on the video: “All of it. Look at this.
“And the other car is like, what? Are we allowed to do that? Yes.
“That’s my thing. This is why I get to do it. Yes, they say it’s cutting in.
The video has gone viral on social media with more than 83,200 views and 108 comments.
However, viewers on social media are divided.
One said: “People simply can’t be arsed. We know the lanes are closed, and just sit and wait.”
Another said: “I think people are scared that no one would let them in if they do that….. But it’s so fun!”
While a third pointed out: “It’s people like you that cause accidents.”
