Driving in the middle lane on motorway?

[e8_pqck]

I don't like middle lane drivers, but I remember driving in the slow lane and the ruts were so bad in a small car that I had to revert to the middle lane. It was an exception but it can happen.

You think it's bad in a car, try it when its pissing down on a bike mate, properly dangerous! x

Although most the time im too busy worrying about my fuel gauge or something to even consider being in the outside lane, lol!


How ever, on them rare occasions when i have enough fuel to drift into the outside lane, sometimes if some cock is right up my arse, ill happily sit @ 70 mph, because that is the legal speed limit.

So, you totally agree, then go on to completely contradict yourself..?

I hope you get undertaken when you do that then, just making things more dangerous, man up.

i use the middle lane at 70mph everyday to work

if people want to go faster they can overtake in the fast lane

Yes i do, and?

So your hoping other driver's do something, to make it MORE dangerous?

This can do two ways...

Speed limit is there for a reason. Fact of the matter is 95% Of people travel TOO close on motorways. Fact. This really annoys me when people sit yards off my bumper, especially when they do it back -_-

But the police would rather pull you over for doing 80Mph in the outside lane :/

But on a three lane motorway the middle lane is also classed as a fast lane. So sums that up!

Taxi drivers after midnight are real pricks... fecking love giving them abuse. Especially as they think they own the road at that hour. I'm sure Danny VTS know the a453 quite well... feckers on there do my nut in.

As for middle lane hoggers, under take them. Havnt got time for that.

what pisses me off...

the cunts who drive in the middle or "fast" lane when the motorway is empty!!

stupid...and actually illegal

undertaking is legal aslong as the person is doing below the speed limit and you dont do it dangerously

its a loophole that was created for traffic situations

Really??

I thought any sort of undertaking was illegal

[blackie_2k5]

undertaking is only illegal, as said, if you do it for gain..eg you swoop out then immediately back infront

or if your dangerous in the motion you do it


if you cruise out at safe speed...past the car your underaking..keep it going a bit longer, and safely move back over you should be fine

If the road is completely empty I sit in the middle lane incase something brakes/pops, gives me room either side, but if there is other traffic I follow highway eticate

Exactly this. There is no law specifically outlawing undertaking. It's covered under driving without due care. So do it sensibly not aggressively and you'll be fine.

If I come onto an otherwise quiet motorway and someone is in the middle lane doing 60mph, obviously I don't go across into lane 2 then lane 3 just to overtake. Just do 70mph down lane 1. They frequently get the hint.

i think the best bit is when your in a mark 2 skoda octavia and have police lights in the grill so you get so annoyed that you flick em on and they shoot over sharpish! this is talking from experience lol! did get one guy to pull over onto the hard shoulder

could just work in kent though :/
