Default People hogging the Middle lane...




Doing my best to get to Carnforth on the M6, north bound, to get my new wheels, , and the amount of people driving in the middle lane with no-one around.

There were a good few in the outside lane too.


I cannot stand that!

Had to flash a few out of the way as they just would not let me overtake them.

just gently undertake them. - I do.

There are no cops on the road any more anyway - , just speed cameras, and they only catch cars going faster than someone says you're allowed to.

In fact drive round with no numberplate on the back.

It must be worth it as your chances of being caught are minimal, and the penalty if caught incurrs NO points!. (just say it fell off).

infact the only time i dont use the middle lane and i lane hop is when im speeding as then i got a car behind me and the old bill cant see me

unless the cheeky fookers are infront of a fooking lorry doing 55 , but by then im accelerating and they aint got a chance

middle lane dont really bother me

its the outrside lane ones that bug me. the ones that travel at about 85mph contantly... no speed up no slow down just 85mph....

the oooh im goign over the limit why would anyone want to come past me types!

now i may want to travel at say 100mph if its clear and then back off to 70mph and go for the middle lane and chill for a bit when traffic gets more.... then if sit there too long outside laner man comes slowly trundling past at 85!! constant battle to keep in front as you know they aint ever going to pull in if youre behind.

ok prob me at fault as perhaps im supposed to just go at 85mph... all the time. but surely not in the 'overtaking lane'??
