Middle lane !!
Dr Evil:
Came home on M23/25 tonite and low and behold the left hand lane was packed !
Everyone must have read the forum last night and it shamed them all !!!! :P
hairyasswelder:
I drive up the middle lane every morning 8)
The only thing is anyone that overtakes me is breaking the speed limit by a good margin and is liable to be prosecuted :lol: :lol:
I really cant be bothered to keep pulling in and out between lorries every 2 minutes.
Maybe its just me that can admit it :?:

You can take the sack cloth and ashes off now :D
If driving in the left lane means having to pull out to overtake every couple of minutes I think your philosophy is sound. Overtaking is a dangerous manoeuvre especially during the morning rush hour as most drivers are still half asleep.
I think that it's the "I'm doing the speed limit and can drive in the middle lane if I want" numpties who ignore a completely empty lane 1 for miles on end that annoy most of us. The Highways Agency recently claimed that at any one moment in time middle lane hoggers were making 1700 miles of motorway lane 1 unusable thus adding to congestion and driver frustration.
Range Rover Blues:
Hey, I'm gald to see I'm not the only one who is up to speed on the highway code :D
More evidence of the generally high standard of driving shown by 4x4 owners :wink:
What makes me laugh is the oh-so-considerate drivers who pull over from the middle or RH lanes to allow you to pass, then pull back again :shock:
WHY?
I think these idiots have forgotten how to drive.
Compulsory retesting, it's long overdue. We'd all pass though, right :wink:

Yea yea
Thats the problem, we all think we are better than we actually are, ask any CLOC or anyone driving "sensibly" and they will all say it's the other bloke/bird at fault.
The only way to improve the roads is to ban traffic or make it almost impossible to navigate through a town.
I think Sheffield council is almost there ! The traffic is horrendous when just one road is blocked by an accident or ongoing " improvements."
I can see that in the not too distant future they won't have to worry about traffic plans cos nobody will dare to come within the city limits... unless they use public transport.
Yea yea... bring it on Then lets see just how many more empty shops appear in the city centre... and how many more empty multi story carparks ( Bristol hotel in the centre used to be a carpark ) are converted to hotels for those that get fed up of waiting for a bus.
