not the middle lane, but lane three... Really annoying.  Signature"Excuse me, would you mind not farting while I'm saving the world?"

Nothing dubious about it at all Tim. You'll have noticed the stream of HGVs in L1 undertaking everything in L2/L3 during rush hour? SignatureConor "Be incomprehensible.

I've noticed this to be the case at any point of congestion on motorways. Especially M1 and M25. Oh, I love the Lane 1 I do :-) > >> not the middle lane, but lane three... > >> [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > but with dubious legality... HC 242: Do not overtake on the left or move to a lane on your left to overtake. In congested conditions, where adjacent lanes of traffic are moving at similar speeds, traffic in left-hand lanes may sometimes be moving faster than traffic to the right. In these conditions you may keep up with the traffic in your lane even if this means passing traffic in the lane to your right. Do not weave in and out of lanes to overtake. That would work well, if the middle / right lanes weren't full of morons overtaking fresh air. <> HC 242: Do not overtake on the left or move to a lane on your left to > overtake.

A more appropriate analogy than the implied similarity to speed limits would be driving on the left. Yes, it is somewhat arbitrary, but given that the vast majority abide by it, it's a lot more sensible to drive on the left than argue that it's exactly the same if you drive on the right...

Happens on the m62, and oddly down the road near my house (which is a DC). Everyone is in lane two, as it MUST be the faster lane. So i just undertake them all, without fail, every day. > not the middle lane, but lane three... > > Really annoying. Yep, it was the same on the M4 earlier by me, only 2 lanes, and a car overtakes me and no-one in front and they stay in the right lane. I remember once I was doing 80 in the left lane, at night, and there was a car in the right lane (M4) and there was no-one in the left lane to overtake. I was catching up with them, so I undertaked them, and guess what as soon as I did that they moved back in. |
