why do people do that?

if yr on a 2 land dual carraigeway, you overtake and move back.

why is it when faced with an option of 3 lanes or more, they cant seem to do it????

worst people are the ones who move in to let u pass, then move back into their middle lane.

:?

i now drive in the "slow" lane, basically cos i cant be arsed to rush anywhere, incase i get stuck behind a middlelane hog, and have the whole road rage thing.

bring back hanging.
 
I drive in the middle lane.

Can't stand driving in the right (or left, depending on where you are) as you keep coming up behind slow people and are constantly changing lanes.

If you want to pass me, then pass in the left (right) lane.

The worst thing is people that drive in the fast lane and don't get out of the way when you want to pass :evil:
 
No, the worst thing is the people who sit in the middle lane and completely ruin the flow of traffic on the motorway and make everyones elses journeys more difficult :evil: :P :roll:

from the highway code....

Lane discipline
238: You should drive in the left-hand lane if the road ahead is clear. If you are overtaking a number of slower moving vehicles it may be safer to remain in the centre or outer lanes until the manoeuvre is completed rather than continually changing lanes. Return to the left-hand lane once you have overtaken all the vehicles or if you are delaying traffic behind you. Slow moving or speed restricted vehicles should always remain in the left-hand lane of the carriageway unless overtaking. You MUST NOT drive on the hard shoulder except in an emergency or if directed to do so by signs.
MT(E&W)R regs 5, 9 & 16(1)(a) & MT(S)R regs 4, 8 & 14(1)(a)


from what you just written, the UK roads must be full of ignorant motoring yanks. :roll:

because of someone hogging the middle lane, if they were to move over the person in the 'fast lane' wouldn't have to be there in the first place

driving so far up my arse doesnt make me wanna move over or speed up.... quite the opposite....

Then get the hell out of the fast lane :lol:

If you are constantly passing people in the slow lane, there is no reason to keep switching back and forth. Same if you're in the middle lane but going fast enough that people don't catch you :twisted:

treat it well. and it'll treat u well.

when u coming home hun?
 
I've always been bought up that the lanes go slow-medium-fast.

And that's how I think most people (should) treat them)

I just whack myself in the outside lane, and progressively burn up to the next slowcoach infront of me lights-a-flashing, til I arrive at my destination.

Though also, if I get a porsche or other top-end speeder up my arse, I respectfully pull over to allow them through, thus not delaying their journey as much as possible.

If I was caught by someone in a mk1 escort (assuming it wasn't one of those suped up boy-racer retro rally ones) then I don;t deserve to be on the roads IMO.
