I didn’t think three cars is enough to create a gridlock, but what do I know. Yesterday three very ‘creative’ drivers managed just that right in front of me.

I wish I had a picture to share as it was that special. I don’t, so here is a schematic for your enjoyment, horror, disgust, or perhaps lols as the younglings like to say these days.

    people really don’t think about just how amazingly clumsy cars are, if this was motorbikes the situation would have been resolved in 5 seconds

      If this was 3 people who actually knew how to drive then the situation would have never occurred. Someone has pulled out into the path of traffic with nowhere to go, and the other 2 have decided to be petty instead of leave space or reverse and resolve the situation in 5 seconds.

        Or #2 could reverse back behind the give way line and follow the Highway Code in future.

        Edit: ok, assuming there was/is a give way line there and everyone is indicating correctly.
