    And therein lies the problem. You only use lane 2 for overtaking (& I haven't been on an Institute of Advanced Motorists Course).

    Possibly the physco in the Range Rover was a cuk'er who recognised you

      Indeed - sounds like you're a chronic middle-laner, and as such ought to have a good session with electrodes attached to your unmentionables. The Range Rover driver was being quite restrained and forgiving.

        I'm not picking up my RR until next week!

        I'll be sad to see the Skoda go...

          I am not a middle laner – remember, we are talking the M62 here where lane 1 is constantly jammed with lorries doing 56, or 40 where we go onto the ascent for the Pennines.

          On a nice clear motorway driving to Scotland I always use lane 1 where this is clear.

          Even lane 2 is a very dangerous option as lorries pull out to drag race – I have seen soooo many collisions on that road doing just that.

          Once stuffed up piece of motorway.

          Doesn’t Lucy have a Range Rover and a beard?

            I did the windscreen washer trick to get him to back off, he undettakes me, then refuses to let me past
            If you were driving on the left when not overtaking, how is it possible that he could "undettake" you?

            I would suggest that maybe you could have moved over to lane 2, let him continue his journey unobstructed, and the incident would have been avoided.

              So which is it?

              Lets face facts - you drove in the wrong lane deliberately to upset people - then whine.

                I think it's quite a good un actually. It takes some dedication to think of a new form of personal misery everyday and post it.

                  But it is the sort of stuff most of us would not notice or just ignore.

                  If Wilmslow gets divorced(from Lucy?) I wonder how he will take that?

                    Nooooooo! <sighs>

                    In order for this to happen the creator (I have some suspicions) will have to lead us through a series of pathetic missadventures into the dating game, the likes of which we haven't seen since sprite boy. This will be followed by them joining a dating site, inevitably leading to the long drawn out dilema of whether the latest fictional partner is 'the one'.

                    The next step in the process is for weekly doomsday scenarios, is she cheating, am I impotent, I don't like her parents, I feel suffocated etc etc ad nauseum.

                    It's gonna be a looong summer I fear.

                      They probably do. Saw them in a grey Volvo on the M20 the other day, they had pulled over somebody who didn't expect that.
