    Anyone else noticed how the right hand lane is becoming the new middle lane for most drivers?

    last night the M6 between Birmingham and Manchester was effectively reduced to single file traffic even though there was miles of open road in lanes 1 and 2

      I think he meant lines. Or loans.

        Yes. It's a ******* pain in the arse.

          Let the train take the strain.

            Mr Pogle must have been pleased, someone else has done all the ground work for him

              Stop whinging! Just 'overtake' them on the inside! Do it all the time now and my reasoning to any traffic plod is my lane was moving quicker than the outside lane.

              BTW, there is NO law against overtaking on the inside lane on a motorway.

                I think the Highway Code says that you can undertake if the traffic in the outside lane is slow moving.

                  are you sure you can't get done for dangerous driving doing that?

                    Only if you were driving dangerously when you did it.
