    people not understanding the concept of the motorway lanes

    how people older than stu were taught them......

    slow lane, is so called because of the speed limited hgv's travelling down it & then using the middle lane to pass slower ones & pulling back in....
    middle lane, meant to be an overtaking lane for the slow lane, but also home to 7.5 tonners, vans, caravans & buses, which can run faster than hgv's so they are constantly overtaking them
    fast lane, used to overtake vehicles in the middle lane before pulling in.....

    now, the more amazing rule that is long forgotten... if, as designed, people are using the motorway properly, then when there is a crash in the slow or middle lane, the hard shoulder & fast lane would be the lanes of diversion, so the motorway keeps moving........

    in fact, the only bit of the motorway network that works correctly with busy traffic is the bit near luton with 50mph average speed cameras on it, so the bmw & audi drivers can't drive like tits between the cameras, like they do on the m25, causing all manner of hold ups.

    Always use lane 1 unless its got something in the way less than 1/4 mile away
    Use lane 2 to pass lane 1 obstructions, but move back in as soon as is safe.
    Use lane 3 to pass anything in the way in lane 2 then move back to 2/1 as soon as safe.
    If lucky enough, use lane 4 blah blah blah.

    It's how it works on the continent etc and it does work on the m40 but that's about it the uk should be ashamed of its motorway etiquette. We wouldn't need 4+lane motorways if they were simply used properly.

    Agreed,people are fukking w4nkers on the motorways,when your overtaking at 80 why does some fukking guttersnake come bearing down on you from 130 in a big fat german tank with its hids blasting in your mirror, then get as close as possible til you pass what you are overtaking.
    People like this need the book throwing at them in court.

    oh ffs!
    Half the time though,you have to break the limit to pass the other w4nkers that speed up as they cant bear the shame of being overtaken.
