Idiots who drive only in the outside lane....

[BrilloPad]

Thats what the headlight flasher is for and remember to sit up their exhaust pipe!

When driving in torrential rain (never seen rain like that before : Mrs BP only seen it in HK) I am going to give the idiots a vry very wide berth.

Last night I saw not a single police car. We wouldn't want them pulling anyone over and having to get wet eh?

maybe they are doing it to p iss you off as you obviously think you own the road, you dont own the road. do you drive a bmw or a white van

They were actually doing it a long way before I came along and a long way afterwards. Sometims no other car in sight.

Of course I dont drive a BMW. Only dodgy agent and other pimps are allowed to drive them or has the law changed?

I agree that if there is no traffic ahead, those in the right hand lane should seek the leftmost lane to make onward progress.

However, I have often been in the right lane following a queue of cars and some twonk in a Teutonic trashcan comes up behind me thinking they can force their way through the obviously long line of traffic ahead. But no-one intimidates me.... I just revert to awkward b'stard mode.

I drive through some lovely country lanes each day at the moment. What annoys me is I sometimes (once or twice a week) come across someone driving 40mph constantly (which is to slow along some of the wider straight roads) but they also drive 40mph through the 30mph villages meaning I drop back then catch them up again later to find I can`t overtake become I`ve already gone past the low risk overtaking areas (usually just outside the villages).

How yes! I vote for this one too, a little addition.... without exception they do 45mph in the 60 zone, then do the same or speed up in the 30.
In their mind they must think the are speeding in a 30 all along

I understand your annoyance all too well Brillo, I've just done 280 miles in a maddening 6 3/4 hours due to middle and outside lane drivers, the whole situation worsened considerably by the morons who have no concept of how to drive in the rain.

I get to do it all over again in the other direction on Sunday evening when it will take about 4 1/2 hours due to the lower moron coefficient.

I was stuck behind some idiots today in the "outside" lane driving at 20, thats right, 20mph because of a bit of rain... No one on the inside of them, breaking randomly and just being crap...

This was all on a 70mph dual carriageway road... MOVE IN!

I`m learning more and more than Rover owners of any model should be strung up. Modern MG ownes included

Thats at least 3 of us affected then! Now we just need a major political party to back us and outside lane hogging will be punishable by death!

Undertaking is dangerous - how many timeshave you seen somebody dart into the middle lane only for the car in front of them to do it also. I know I've seen it loads of times. I have undertaken cars in the past, but it is something I'm wary of doing simply because you know you are already dealing with somebody who is oblivious to the fact that they are holding up the outside lane - so if they are not checking what is going on behind, why would you expect them to consider what is happening to their left.
