phawley Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Very wrong. Whatever speed they are doing, whether it's 50, 70 or 90, they should keep to the left hand lane unless overtaking. If you can't understand that, don't get behind the wheel of a car. Please. If you go and stand on almost any motorway bridge in this country you will see 3 lanes of moving traffic, are you seriously saying that all that traffic should try to cram into one lane?

phawley Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 I am saying that if the lane to the left of you is clear and you are not in the process of overtaking something, you're in the wrong lane. And I repeat that when in a normal working day will you find lane 1 clear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritPat Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 As one of those 'prats' who come up your rear end flashing you when you are actually doing the speed limit, I am not flashing to tell you you are going too slow, I am flashing to tell you that you are in the wrong lane. I usually travel in lane one at night (even at 70mph) and object to having to cross two motorway lanes to lane three and then back again to lane one just because you cannot be arsed to drive in the correct lane!

Conrod Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 And I repeat that when in a normal working day will you find lane 1 clear?Repeat it if you will, that is not the point. If there is space in the left lane and you are not overtaking, you should be in the left lane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obelix Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 And I repeat that when in a normal working day will you find lane 1 clear? Every working day for the last ten years on the A1(M) and M1 for me.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splodgeyAl Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 perhaps phawley owns a quantum car, and it exists in both lane 1 and 2 simultaneously, so he is always overtaking himself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laineyiow Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 And I repeat that when in a normal working day will you find lane 1 clear? You will always find lane 1 clear enough to drive in that lane and overtake when it is necessary. Excuses, excuses......poor driving skills.

John X Or Possibly Phawley's Cat Please note that any attempt made to determine the speed (momentum) of a middle lane hogger makes its position in the middle lane less certain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
