In a different vein it also frustrates us when someone at the end of a
string of cars stops to let us cross, rather than carrying on past and
letting us cross in the massive gap behind them and the next batch of
cars (for the extra pollution that causes if nothing else).

Spot on - likewise the "flasher" who waves a car out of a side turn -
oblivious to what is coming the other way. Just wanting a "nice" credit.


Or Brighton where people turning right simply drive half way across
(forcing cars to come to halt) expecting that the stream cars in
the other direction will stop/slow and allow him in.

That is more a London procedure when you're fed up with waiting at a
junction. The usual technique was to either wait for a brand new car or
a taxi. Taxis will always back off and prevent an accident if they can.

That is because they cannot 'ply for hire' if the vehicle has body damage.
