Driving in the middle lane on motorway? - Saxperience

christoph · 23rd August 2012, 21:01

Right just a curious question, driving home from milton keynes today down the M1 the 4 lane bit. I was in the left hand lane with nothing in front of me, lane wise for about 3/4 of mile. Yet there were people queuing in the far right lane because some cunt was sitting at 69 in the middle right lane

:w all:

. . . . Now obviously undertaking is "illegal" but it proper winds me up. . can anyone shed some light on why people do this, even if you do it yourself! I've just gotta know haha

Sometimes you just have to 'undertake' ive done it a few times on the A19 due to faggots driving in the wrong lane too slow i.e 55mph/60.

Dont go hating.. i care less of your thoughts.

CLOD's

Centre Lane Only Drivers.

I sit up their arse and flash them to move over, when they don't move over (9/10) I over take them with a unfriendly hand gesture.

I think I spend more time undertaking then I do over taking. The Motorways are a great place to practice.

if theres enough room for me to undertake then theres enough room to pull in, as jeremy clarkson said they should be taken outside and shot in front of there familys

first rule of the road i learnt was keep to the left

prickle mate i do the same, wasn't asking why people undertake, i meant why people feel the need to sit in the middle lane haha

Because their fucking sheep!

They follow the car in front in their own little dream world! I witnessed this coming back from Sheffield the other day. I wasn't driving but I got more wound up then my boss did driving.

i had a worse hate when doing 3-500 miles a day, when waggons insist on overtaking on a dual carriage way even round a left hand bend and you end up sat there for mile upon mile

Middle lane can be smoother than the inside as less lorries use it!!!!!!!!!

Undertaking is legal if the person you are undertaking is doing less than the speed limit IIRC.. Feel free to correct if im wrong anyone

Would you sit in the middle lane for a mile if the inside lane was free?

Many people don't understand that the rules of the motorway is Keep Left! Lane 2 IS an over taking lane but not a cruising lane but many people see lane 3 as the over taking lane and think its okay for them to clod along in the middle lane and for everyone to go around the outside. Morons!
