    That's because they have different driving rules.

        If you are able to be undertaken, it measn you are not driving right. It really winds me up and gets worse and worse the closer you get to London, a long line of people sitting in the outside lane while the inside and middle are relatively empty. OUtside lane is for overtaking only. If there is enough room on the next lane in to be undertaken, thats the one you should be driving in!!

          Where is this driving nirvana you speak of? It is not known to me around these parts!

            Thats what the headlight flasher is for and remember to sit up their exhaust pipe! Germany is actually very good in the respect that (most) people will have seen you coming from a distance away and will move over, they'll move back again as soon as you've passed though. Because the UK has the speed limit stuck at 70 most people get it into their head that as they're doing that then there is no need need for them to move over as they're stopping you getting a ticket if you overtake them!!!

                Which I think is what Mr English does, which works fine. My fear (and I suspect his) is that many drivers in the UK will not have seen you coming because they won't be looking.

                  I only tend to use the outside lane but that's OK because (a) there's rarely anybody going faster than me and (b) I drive a BMW.

                  I agree with the point that if you can be undertaken you are the one driving poorly and inconsiderately.

                    You're right. If you drive a BMW, there are standards to maintain.

                      On a road with 2-3 lanes, I agree. But when you get up to 4+ lanes on a moderately busy road, things get more tricky, although the outside lane should always remain the overtaking/fast lane.
