Maybe even for poor lane discipline. So it might be because of a dickheadedness, but it's still an inability to drive. And the cost of passing a driving test wouldn't be £100, and successive high pass marks should lead to lower premiums (just as black boxes are being used for these days). That so many people are against it, just proves you're all bad drivers. Idiots can drive to the law during a test. They know how to do it, they're just wankers. Your proposal would sort nothing.

If the right lane is blocked, then surely the issue is with the vehicle in that lane, not the middle lane. There's no excuse to undertake otherwise. The reality of the busy nature of motorways is all lanes need to be utilised, not some ridiculous notion the left lane is a gravity well. If I'm driving in the left lane at 70, and some lazy bellend is in the middle lane doing 60 I could change lanes 4 times, of I could keep driving straight on. I'm not talking about abandoning the middle lane, you dolt, I mean cunts who site there for no reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Failing to check their mirrors properly, failing to indicate, staying in the correct lane when going around the roundabout, reversing into a parking space properly, and so on.

TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 (edited) Driving tests are bollocks. I failed my first one because somebody flashed me out at a junction so I obliged. Apparently I shouldn't trust somebody flashing me out. Having to revert back to robotic bollocks with no regard for etiquette or common sense every 5 years is thoroughly pointless.

In that scenario it's you being lazy I think., and are certainly at fault for undertaking which is dangerous. Ive honestly never come across it though, probably because I'm always in the middle lane, doing 80. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lazy bellend sat in the middle lane, because overtaking is just too exhausting for the poor lamb, is at fault. I reckon it's the middle lane arseholes who're most at fault for congestion. And crashes. And Brexit. Edited December 4, 2017 by The Fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44804 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Dave driving in the left hand lane is just one big virtue signalling exercise.

There are also rather few sections on the motorways left without a speed limit. Lane hoggers here are normally awful drivers, old, too afraid of overtaking or on their phone, thinking it is safer in the middle lane. They are causing congestions and quite often force you into needless manoeuvres involving three or more lanes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 I'll sit in the middle lane in a speed-limited van sometimes because there's little more annoying than cruise-controlling at max-speed, overtaking then pulling back in to the inside lane for the fucking berk that was behind you in the middle lane to start overtaking you 1mph faster than you can go, whilst you're hurtling towards a lorry and want to pull back out but ultimately have to brake to let the dithering cunt get past you first.

If there's nothing in front of you, nothing to your left and the car behind can't overtake, you're causing congestion. Few things more annoying than someone in the middle lane for no reason.

Few things more annoying than someone in the middle lane for no reason. If I'm in the 'middle' lane then there's a lane just to the right where stuff can overtake me. When I'm in the car I'd pull right in, in the knowledge that if I need to pull back out I've got the power to accelerate and pull in front of somebody dithering in the middle lane taking an age to get past me. It's almost fucking always a woman that does it as well, blissfully unaware that the van they've been overtaking for the last 5 minutes might want to pull back out and overtake the lorry it's approaching.

You seem blissfully unaware that what you do is completely illegal ( Section 264, highway code ) I've always thought middle lane drivers were just spiteful people, who only care about themselves tbh.
