Middle lane !!
strapping young lad:
i strongly believe that those who sit in the middle lane do so as they fear going into the left hand lane will block them in from overtaking so if they sit in the middle lane they will be fine... OR they DO have a fear of overtaking slower vehicles than themselves (although i often see trucks going faster than them) and rather than run the risk of having to overtake they sit in the middle lane contented and annoying the population with their selfishness

--- Quote from: "L90OOK" ---
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

Not so!
"Do not overtake on the left or move to a lane on your left to overtake. In congested conditions, where adjacent lanes of traffic are moving at similar speeds, traffic in the left-hand lanes may sometimes be moving faster than traffic to the right. In these conditions you may keep up with traffic in your lane even if it means passing traffic in the lane to your right. Do not weave in and out of lanes to overtake." Quoted direct from the Highway Code (2007 edition) Rule 268.

Middle lane hoggers are colloquially known as members of the Centre Lane Owners Club (CLOC) :D

Some of the worst offenders seem to be foriegn truck drivers.

The ones that sit in the middle lane are the same clowns that drive down the slip road at 40mph and wonder why everyone is waving at them as they join traffic that is travelling at 60 - 70 mph
