3. The Halifax Adverts.
4. Short Weekends.

Middle lane hoggers on the M-way. They should be fined too but the police don't care, but even if you`re a great driver you'll get a ticket if you go a little too fast possibly by accident. Speed doesn't kill, poor driving does,and those middle lane hoggers are likely to be poorer quality drivers.

Are you saying that you need more than one lane to overtake with because you are breaking the speed limit then? THAT sounds like poor driving to me.
If someone is just sitting in the middle lane when there is no reason for them not to move into the slow lane then fair enough, but to expect them to move over just in order to make it easier for some dickwad to break the law seems bizarre.
And I'm pretty sure you will find that speed does actually kill.
Hope you are not one of those irritating ****** that swerves all over the road in front of people making ostentatious sweeps across all 3 lanes whilst 15-20 miles above the speed limit to show "what a great driver" you are. Those numpties get on my tits.

Yes, those that are self righteous and preachy but not about any laws they happen to be breaking. 'Look at me! I nearly took the front off of your car whilst flying across all 3 lanes before immediately flying across all 3 lanes again to pass another person in the middle lane! Everyone else is an idiot and not as skilled as me!!!'... as they swerve all over the road.

I am often to be found in the middle lane on the motorway, the reason for this are the indentations left by HGVs in the left hand lane. On most motorways, and particularly uphill (buy a gcse physics book) the left hand lane has indentations forming 'tram lines', making that lanes road surface 'wavey' from left to right. The dimensions and characteristics of your car determine how you are going to be affected by this road surface. Often the wheels don't sit perfectly in the tram lines making the car difficult to control.


To the people with a problem with middle lane driving :

If I am in the middle lane don't try and worry your little head struggling to work out why, just overtake in the empty lane to the right if you are travelling faster than me. I will pull into the left hand lane temporarily if the road surface is recent and tram lines have yet to appear and someone is approaching and wanting to overtake, but don't assume you know best and that cutting in front of me nearly taking the front off my car is in some way an experience that will educate me when it is you that needs the lesson. Oh and my choice of lane also depends on whether the motorway is turning to the left or the right and on the traffic and road layout, but that's enough complicated stuff for now for you to absorb.

I do that... then drop a gear and floor it.

You should always drive in the left-hand lane when the road ahead is clear. If you are overtaking a number of slower-moving vehicles, you should return to the left-hand lane as soon as you are safely past. Slow-moving or speed-restricted vehicles should always remain in the left-hand lane of the carriageway unless overtaking. You MUST NOT drive on the hard shoulder except in an emergency or if directed to do so by the police, HA traffic officers in uniform or by signs.

FWIW I used to flash the middle laners but having glanced at the drivers a couple of times I realised I was wasting my time
