Middle Laners

[Xenophon]

I spend most of my time overtaking. That is why I'm to be found either in the middle lane or occasionally the outside lane.

Of course.

Pootling along in lane 2 when people are going more quickly than you and lane 1 is clear is a no no of course.

So why do people do it?

Of course.

So why do people do it?

Because they is rebels.

Which is quicker: the Range Rover SC or the Range Rover Sport SC?

Because they is rebels.

O I C

They don't look like rebels though. They look more like Victor Meldrew.

If you are important, like me, you can arrive when you like. Rushing around and speeding is for the lower classes.

But don't they stop your benefits if you don't sign on at the right time?

Feck knows.

Anyone read the article in the Sunday Times - about road signs?

Turns out that they actually make driving more dangerous:

1st couple of paragraphs:

Pedestrian KSIs (killed or seriously injured) on Kensington High Street in London fell by 60% when the council removed most of the “safety” features - road markings, railings and signs. Why? Because these devices take responsibility away from the driver or pedestrian. They make them feel they are being looked after so they take stupid risks and die.The apparently safe road is, the research tells us, the most lethal.

Like the discoveries that dieting makes you fat, that economists cannot make predictions and that Einstein was probably right about the cosmological constant, the Ken High Street experiment overturns a century of misconception. From the man with the red flag onwards, the assumption was that the car was inhuman. It had to be caged with safety precautions and its ravenous appetite for space demanded priority in towns and villages. Like a god, it was worshipped and feared.

[Churchill]

Of course.

Pootling along in lane 2 when people are going more quickly than you and lane 1 is clear is a no no of course.

So why do people do it?

Because the ruts on Lane 1 on a lot of motorways are downright dangerous!

Why expend energy swapping into lane 1 when you don't have to?

Think about the wear on your tyres.

Depends which one is behind me in the middle lane

[DimPrawn]

I'll tell my chauffeur to pull into lane 1 next time.

HTH

Not ok if people have to go to lane 3 to get by you though. Or lane 1 if you're me.



If you're not being over-taken it no matter.
