You know, I'm sure the people who rant on about people hogging the middle lane of the motorway never use the inside lane themselves...

I wonder if the author of that site is brave enough to have a hidden camera in his car so we can all see his no doubt exemplary lane discipline?

On a busy road, the inside lane is a horrible place to be, you are stuck in a row of HGV's, can't see a thing, and if you want to travel at anything more than 56mph you have to keep accelerating and pulling out into a line of traffic every 30 seconds.

I do use the inside lane when appropriate, and middle lane drivers don't bother me in the slightest. I'll just pull out and pass them.

People that sit in the outside lane, now that DOES bother me.

That website is so funny!

The middle laners which wind me up, are those between 11pm and 5am when the motorway is dead, I'll gain on them who are in the inside lane for no reason as the motorway is otherwise empty, and then flash at the utter-dick to pull in, they don't, I slow down 10mph but then undertake with a good long horn blast.

Danny McGee will vouch for my driving, he loves it... ha ha.
