This video is cringeworthy & the end result would be even more congestion than we currently have if we stayed in the left lane!!, Also if you look at the examples used in the video you have to laugh as the cars each and everytime was overtaking or coming up to a opportunity to overtake
when I meet a middle lane moron on empty motorways I usually approach at speed and do a lane 1 to overtaking lane 2 maneuver and cut straight across back to lane 1 again.. It pleases me when I sometimes see them in my rear mirror magically move from overtaking lane 1 to lane 1 where they should be.
Also, people must stop talking about "the slow lane" and "the fast lane" - some actually believe it's 50, 60, 70 - it isn't, it's 70 max in all 3 lanes. When I sit in long lines of traffic on the motorway it angers me when you can see miles ahead and the road is empty due to three idiots causing a rolling road block, where they want to overtake but will not go over 70 to do so. FFS, if you want to overtake, boot it to get by then pull back in and ease off the gas.
Cockneychris - if you're doing 56 and someone is dawdling along in the middle at 50 then you have every right to keep in your lane - the highway code does say you can pass on the left if traffic on the right is moving slower. If police saw you driving continuously in lane 1 and go past slower traffic in lane 2 then they pull you, ask them in court why they saw the slow driver hogging lane 2 and did nothing. EVERY bridge should have flashing signs - OVERTAKING ONLY over lanes 2 & 3
We have the same situation in Germany....oh what fun it is going over 145 mph with people not looking in their rv-mirrors and swerving traffic like total idiots.
I think they should be dragged out of their cars and crucified at the road side. This is the only case in which Sharia law should be accepted in the UK. I would love to stone one of these cunts to death. If they need 10 ft of road on either side to drive in a straight line, they're too fucking stupid to be on the roads. After millions are spent widening roads, they fucking hog the 3rd lane!!! Has anyone noticed their expressionless faces as they're driving along in trance like state of stupor?
this does my nut, i drove from derby to glasgow and back today for work and so many middle lane hoggers, even a van that came onto the M6, pulled straight into the middle lane as soon as he got on even though it was absolutely clear infront of me, forced me to go 1-3 then back, gave him a good blast of my horn as i went by for good measure but he still stayed there, twat...
now with 4 lane motorways, these inconsiderate pricks will now sit in lane 3 making it even more dangerous for others!!!
If they need 10ft of road on either side to drive in a straight line, they're just too stupid and dangerous to be on the roads. If I had my way, it would be like the end of the film 'Spartacus' when all the slaves were crucified along the side of the road. Drag them out of their cars and crucify them and let that be a lesson to the rest of them. They're idiots, zombies driving in a trance like stupor and should be banned from driving.
They should re-name lane 2 the Gay Lane. Paint it pink & instead of white lines, paint big fat cocks on the road. I guarantee 99% of drivers wouldn't stay in it for a second longer than they had to.
What's so bad about staying in the middle lane. Anyone who wants to overtake has the 3rd lane for overtaking and anyone who stays in the middle is keeping the 1st lane free for traffic merging on to the motorway.
If someone is hogging the 3rd lane then by all means complain but complaining about middle lane hogging is pathetic when there is a 3rd lane for overtaking and no one is forcing you to undertake unless the 3rd lane is being hogged.
how about a rational response, only a cock would respond irrationally. The policeman in the video has a point, drivers should learn to live with it. I don't have a problem with drivers staying in the middle lane, I just overtake them when the 3rd lane is clear.
@RoadInfrastructure Yup just like we learn to live with them undertaking us
;'The video is how it has always been and if I'm travelling at the speed limit in the middle lane then they are the ones breaking the law if they should choose to overtake and even more so if undertaking.
You have a good point but most people are fuckin stupid! the first lane on a 3 lane highway is for on and off traffic and slow traffic, the middle lane is for the posted speed limit only or more, and the third lane is for passing only, if you were on a 4 lane highway then yes your first phrase applies and god you might like it but i find it retarded driving on the left Im in the right lane passing left only Canada
Because mr "RoadInfrastructure" people driving lorries and towing trailers are limited to lanes 1 and 2, just by cruising in the middle lane you make their lives difficult. Also if your going to block lane 2, why do we bother with motorways in the first place, why not just have duel carriageways. How about trying to be a good, sensible and considerate driver and not some selfish twat!!
Not me, I pay attention on the road like every one should. Driving is interactive. You have to let people pass! Get in the appropriate lane for you're speed! If you kept the passing lane clear we wouldn't have weaving!
Your so fuckin right im on the highway twice a day minimum 5 days a week with city driving and 9 out of 10 drivers are fuckin stupid they hogg the lanes even when theres no traffic and they wont move the ideal solution would be a good solid punch in the head and or a fine or both
We don't have 'fast' or 'slow' any more, in fact we never really did but as the video states, early UK lorries were so slow that a normal car basically had to sit in lane 2 to get anywhere. Now it is different and a middle lane driver brings a 3 lane carriageway down to a 2 lane carriageway because you have to overtake on the right in the UK. This group includes (but is not limited to) most BMW drivers, old people, boy racers and most women between the ages of 24-50 in 4x4s
These are not basically bad people.If you stay in lane 1 going close to the speed limit eventually you will need to pass and will be blocked by someone who is in lane 2 all the time. That is frustrating and leads me to spend more time in the middle lane than I need to. If I'm approaching a slow vehicle I'll pull out if I see it is clear but will be blocked by the time I NEED to pass.

im an hgv driver, all our trucks have speed limiters fitted, which restriscts our top speed, at 56m.p.h,
we are not allowed to use the 3rd lane of a motorway, its illegal to undertake in lane 1.
so tell me, if a car driver is hogging the centre lane doing 50m.p.h.
how the fuck do we overtake you, thats why so many truck drivers, get frustrated and tailgate you to get out of the way.
