Middle lane hogging is bad practice. However, an increasing number of bully-boys, travelling faster than the speed limit, seem to feel they no have the right to charge up behind and 'hound' anyone slower than they, who is occupying the middle lane for overtaking purposes at the legal limit of 70mph - especially if it's a small car. At the same time, there is a pronounced, and increasing, reluctance on their part to move over to the outside lane, even if it's clear. Flashing and gesturing is not uncommon, yet it is not something they'd try on when HGVs are crawling past one another- sometimes for miles!
The outermost lane is there - use it! So many people seem reluctant/frightened, and would rather tailgate in the middle lane. This is neither courteous, nor safe, driving practice. We ALL need to use ALL lanes - sensibly. Do you agree?
