Should you use both lanes to queue when there is a lane closure? Is it queue jumping?

One of the most controversial things on the UK roads is how to deal with lane closures on dual carriageways and motorways, as well as talking about the weather, the British love a good queue, so most drivers like to move to the open lane as soon as possible and queue up there, but do you need to?

Is it queue jumping if you merge in turn immediately before the lane closure?

Well this is what rule 134 of The Highway Code states:

"You should follow the signs and road markings and get into the lane as directed. In congested road conditions do not change lanes unnecessarily. Merging in turn is recommended but only if safe and appropriate when vehicles are travelling at a very low speed, e.g. when approaching road works or a road traffic incident. It is not recommended at high speed."

In this video I give examples on how to successfully merge when there is a lane closure, including how to merge in heavy traffic and light traffic.
