Lane discipline rant
Lane discipline rant
I was on the second lane of a two lane Motorway, plenty of traffic on the first, which i was overtaking at 70mph, think there were doing about 60mph, when i say plenty, no chance to pull back in, and this car comes shooting up behind flashing his lights to say get out of the way, i looked, he peed me, but there was no way i could pull over, he was soo close to me, i could not see his bonnet ! i carried out and he carried out flashing weaving in and out, so i waved at him to get lost, and then he started to get so close half of his windscreen could be seen, so a tapped my brake, so that got his attention and fell behind.
he continued, so i just slowed down to 60mph to match the first lane traffice and carried on for the rest of the journey lol, when he eventually overtook, his face was basically red, and i was laughing at him which made it worse

12-08-2016, 07:04 AM #12I am sure Dan will agree with me but living in Milton Keynes where most roads are dual carriageways, it really annoys me when people drive slowly (40 - 55mph) in the "overtaking" lane when the "non overtaking" lane is empty - usually because they are turning right at the next roundabout 1 to 2 miles down the road and can't be bothered to move over to let the turbo charged nutter past

People constantly sit in the middle/3rd lane, even when there is no traffic in the inside lane. If i ever needed to undertake "When i can drive :p". I probably would try to get the car to move over first, and if not. Just creep up slowly down their inside, and leave a lot of room incase they pulled over. (So they could notice i was there).
It would be against the law, but im guessing it would also be safe if i was careful.
O well, i think this basically annoys everyone, driver or passenger.

This annoys me and i dont even drive. It happens too much. People just think the inside lane is the "Slow lane" and the middle lane is the normal lane.

or maybe one of those lcd message displays at the front and back of the car like the police, and get some default messages saved
here some ideas:
1. Are you blind? MOVE OVER !
2. This is a motorway, we do 70mph, not 100mph
3. How about using indicators?
4. My nan can drive better then you.
5. POLICE PULL OVER
EDIT: Steviewevie beat me to it

Then he stayed in the right lane, and then right at the absolute last minute he crossed across the entire carriageway in one swoop to make the exit........
If the police drive like that, what's everyone else supposed to do :Sulk:

Got even better this morning, driving along in the right lane at exactly 50 (ok that is the speed limit) - guess who was at the front of the queue? A police van!
