Motorway middle lane hoggers ...

[SueEllen]

its a safety thing

WHS

They have found if they stick on 50mph and put in the average speed cameras, the vast majority of people understand what average in that context means. This means the traffic flows at a constant rate as there is no hard acceleration or breaking.

Though it's annoying when they do it around motorway junctions that connect to the M25 when you don't want to get off and there are speed cameras.

Middle lane hoggers - yer all fookin

The solution is to build more than 3 lane motorways, ffs pathetic roads - make 4 or 6 lane ones, this will solve the problem.

No it won't, you'll just get squadrons of dopey ShaunBhoy-like old geezers, driving line abreast lanes 2,3,4 at 45 mph.

AtW. That was maybe a little too subtle for young Mr Guru.

A succinct and possibly uncharitable argument, but I feel there may be some merit to it.
Has anyone had the 'flat cap speeding up when you are trying to overtake them' thing? I know I have (which one of you was it?)

He got it.

And raised with his own wit.

You did not get it.

Suddenly the pieces fall into place.

If only that were ever to happen.
For someone that self-confessedly ignores all prescribed speed limits, and has neither the inclination or ability to be capable of overtaking without a brace of lanes being available to him, you are remarkably vocal on this topic. Quelle surprise.
For the record, I do NOT spend more time than necessary in any given lane of the many motorways I frequent in the course of a normal year. The difference between us sas is that I have the wisdom and extensive driving experience to be able to understand why certain motorists invoke the driving tactics they do, and to react accordingly.
You on the other hand appear to be just the sort of weavewinking tosspot that only occasionally ventures out from your Londonistani gridlock, and arrogantly expect all other road users to park up for the day whilst you pootle your way from your eco-shed existence in lesser Wandsworth, to the ever dwindling number of vague acquaintances you may have that are still altruistic and thick-skinned enough to be able to stomach a weekend in your tedious company.

Yep. You're too clever for me. You must have made a fortune on the stock market this week with your insight. I only made a little.
