Middle lane !!

(1/11) > >>

Dr Evil:
Why is it that the majority of people who drive on motorways in this country have a problem with driving on the left hand lane ?
Every day I find the middle & left hand lanes running at 50-60 mph and the left lane is empty !!!
What is going on ? :twisted:

That will be that there sat nav has not told em to get back in to the near side lane.  :evil:

IIRC it's the law not to use any other lane other than lane 1 unless over taking another slower moving vehicle.
Not that it gets policed, the amount of man hours it'd cost to enforce and just try and change 80% of the nations bad driving habits
Not a chance
The best thing, over take them and gloat in your speed advantage
 :lol:

I do, but the whole thing is really annoying.
Not so bad in the Disco cos no one expects you to go fast, but in my Pug everyone thinks you're some kind of maniac !

L90OOK:
The highway code recommends/advises driver to use the left hand lane.

IIRC there was a study on this.  If people moved into the middle & left hand lane promptly when safe to do so, something like 100 miles, could have been allot more, of UK motorway space would be freed up.

You can legally undertake as long as you don't change lanes to do it...i.e. you can't whizz up the middle or outside lane & deliberately move left to undertake cos someone is hogging the lane in front of you.  However if you approach said lane hogger from an inside lane, overtake them then move out once past this is perfectly acceptable. :D
