What motorways do you use? On the ones I travel, there are always vehicles on the inside line. Or are you one of the I-hate-people-who-hog-middle-lane-because-I-want-to-hog-myself folk? Or as otherwise known, the Jeremy (nobody should be allowed to use roads except me) Clarkson Appreciation Society.

The M6 south through Cumbria/Lancashire is full of them - and there can often be nothing on the inside lane for as far as the eye can see, but still they cruise up the middle lane at 60 mph. When you pass, they are often leaning forward, thick glasses about 2" from the windscreen.

I'm sure people don't know they should keep left unless overtaking , happens loads of times on lots of different motorways.

I always am overtaking. OK, the lorry may be half a mile ahead but I'll be catching up with it in two or three minutes. What's wrong with you lot in the Middle Lane Whingers Brigade? Why do you get all wound up about such a banal triviality? You should stay in more.

I say we should start a campaign for middle laners to be banned from driving until they learn the highway code. The country's traffic problems solved!!

And what is the procedure on a relatively quiet stretch of motorway where you might be travelling at 70 in the inside lane and approach a middle laner doing 65? To pass them do you really have to go from lane 1 to lane 3 then back to lane 1?
