The overtaking lane in driving rain on the M25 (freeway) and no-one behind me

Driving in California this is not! Forget blue skies and sunshine. This is motoring in the UK in the wettest , most miserable June since records began. What you see here is a very wet stretch of the M25, the London orbital motorway. We're travelling north west towards Heathrow, clockwise, from soon after the junction with the M23. The speed limit is 70mph and I was trying to more or less keep to it.

The M25 is a motorway, not a freeway.  You only have freeways in the USA. Also you are a hogging the overtaking lane which is not good behaviour on a motorway.

What exactly is so amazing about this video? You can't drive for shit. This is nothing you are doing what, 70mph? Stop being such a pussy - rain only increases stopping distance you twat and there was no one in the right lane anyway you fucking woman. Why are people so scared of rain ffs. You faggots need to get the train to work i swear.

American here: I live in Oregon... We deal with heavier rain than this almost daily.

This video is nothing special, 2 stars.

I don't think this driver has passed his test in the UK.

Not once did he have the sense to move over. Instead he continued to drive on the outside lane. I wonder if he's ever realised other motorists on the road behind him? I wonder if he's ever noticed other motorists having to under-take him in order to get past? I wonder if he suddenly developed lane discipline when it was time to turn off?

Idiot on M25 should be the name of this video

@Vauxhall94 are you crazy? hes hogging the right most lane doing the speed limit, that cause massive trouble on motorways in rush hour :|

[PaulsMagicVideos]

good to see you sticking to the right hand lane doing 70 causing massive congestion :P

@HunnRa Yo dont have a licence do you? 

[xPyroxx]

@RedRoosterRoad 70. But when nobodys looking, do 85.

[RedRoosterRoad]

So I'm only 16 and haven't started my driving lessons yet, but what exactly is the speed limit on motorways?

70 or 85?

[RedRoosterRoad]

@mazack00 As far as I'm concerned this is light rain. The road is simply damp which is why there is spray.

We do get very heavy rain.

[Vauxhall94]

wow. lotta hate comments here. I mean the driving was fine, and you could at least show some respect for somebody who took the time to put a decsent video without all that nonsensical music and whatnot.
