"When get on to m1 then m25 make you see how lucky we are m6 in cumbria " I think driving is often bad on motorways full stop. Been on most UK motorways at some point. It did improve for a short while after middle lane hogging became a specific offence. | |||

Finally, stop allowing developers to build houses and retail without paying for road upgrades; anyone who lives near the Trafford Centre in Manchester knows exactly how much of a curse the place is for locals! | |||

"I drive in the middle lane just because I know it winds a certain type of person up. Great fun and it’s free "In case anyone reading isn't aware of the current law then its certainly not exactly "free". Hoggers are likely to face a £100 fine and three penalty points, and if they end up being charged with careless driving, an unlimited fine and three to 11 points on their licence. Not cheap! | |||

Not cheap! "How many people have actually been fined or had penalty points for this??? Musing out loud, not expecting the data from your freedom of information request | |||

"When riding the bike, I prefer to hog the middle lane, as I have two possible escape lanes to use should anything happen in fornt of me." If that is your primary reason then you should drive on the inside lane as that alap has two escape lanes and one of them is virtually never used so you will be much safer by going left. | |||

"I passed my test 34 years ago when there was none of this theory side to it. It was a 30 mins drive where the examiner would smash his clipboard on the dashboard as a signal to perform am emergency stop, then back to test centre where you would be asked two questions out of the highway code handbook. That was it. I never went anyway bear a motorway until I had my licence. " Recollections may differ! I took the test 40 years ago. So it will be the same as yours. You had to learn the entire highway code as there was no telling which questions you'd be asked and that included motorway driving rules and regs.. and the examiner asked a range of questions not two.. | |||

"This last few weeks had to spend a lot time up and down m6 m1 and m11 and few other roads !!! I wish you could ram Middle lane drivers mile after mile left lane empty or going same speed as them just sit there !!!! Even had one driver sat right hand lane each time some got behind him flashing lights pull over to middle lane then back to right hand lane not overtaking just sat there. Driving motorway should be either part of test or compulsory lesson. " Think it’s the same everywhere, spend a chunk of my life going up and down the M4 (boy!!! I know how to live life ) think the middle lane hoggers are all over | |||

Driving motorway should be either part of test or compulsory lesson. " There was supposed to be a clampdown on this years ago, but didn’t seem to be implemented to any real extent. Re motorways though, how is it that some people drive at well over 100mph? I feel like I’d lose my license if I drove like that for about 5 minutes. | |||

"Get on the M25 between the M3 & M23 & endless Anderson Lee cars heading for Gatwick to pick up sitting in lane 3 of 4 doing 50/55mph. " I always find that extra caution is needed when driving anywhere near Heathrow, as taxis, ditherers and people who are a bit lost are prone to late and dramatic lane changes. | |||

"ok I have never understood this. if you are going the motorway speed limit what is the problem? I totally agree if they are pootling along at 60 or whatever but if I am going the maximum allowable speed then you shouldn't be overtaking me anyway!" The speed limit is more what you would call guidelines | |||

"For me, the biggest fuckup on motorways is when the driver of one articulated truck decides that it’s really important that he overtakes another articulated truck, and spends 5 miles in the middle lane executing this manoeuvre, going 1mph faster than the other truck " What do you want the driver to do, keep backing off, follow with limited visibility? Tesco, Sainsbury's, Maritime & others restrict their trucks to 50 or 52 but when empty maintain that speed so if overtaking on undulating roads impact a heavy lorries momentum you can see the issue. Not sure if you use shops or fuel stations but guess how the goods got there. | |||

"At least you can get around them easily. It’s the rolling wall of HGVs right up each other’s arse at the motorway exits that annoy me or when they take 10 minutes to overtake the only very slightly slower HGV in lane one. Feckers!" That's what you get when they don't overtake. HGV drivers have restricted hours via tachograph so every minute really can count. They can't just do 5 or 10 mins over because they got delayed. You all get your milk, butter, eggs etc etc etc but have no consideration to the huge infrastructure getting it there. Ban the trucks! Cut their numbers! Make them move at night! Yep, triple the cost & cut the supply. | |||

"The nutters where out yesterday for sure, I think the hot weather and delays make them worse Driving in the middle lane ( I know shoot me now) up the M40 at about 80 overtaking cars and trucks on the inside when passing me at over 100 comes some wide boy in an Audi RS who then cuts into the middle lane missing me by a matter of inches, undertakes the guy in the outside line then straight back to the outside at high speed, he then repeats the whole thing again about 5 cars ahead Less than 3 miles later another 100mph + from the outside lane across all three lanes and up the slip road before locking up all 4 wheels, lots of smoke and lucky that they don’t kill themselves or someone else It is definitely getting worse, maybe it’s since covid and people not going to work in offices they all forgot how to drive " Get a dashcam. Then you can submit the videos of bell ends like that to the police. Many forces now have the facility to submit dashcam footage under safer roads initiatives. | |||

What should drivers do instead of the 5 mile overtaking manoeuvre? Maybe just stay behind the other truck and drive 1mph slower? Only overtake if the vehicle in front is going significantly slower? You know … the way most motorists behave? | |||

Same here … traffic slows right down, you get a good view down the road and realise that the entire cause of the snarl-up is that an articulated truck is spending several miles dragging its arse past another one that is going at almost exactly the same speed. | |||

" Fuck all to do with the numbers of trucks on the roads, it’s how they drive, much like other inconsiderate drivers only the effect is greater because of their size. Only this afternoon I was on a two lane roundabout to exit onto dual carriageway when an attic entered in front of me without stopping. Cheeky I thought but as I could exit on the offside lane I wasn’t too bothered. Then the silly bastard came right across me and other traffic already on the roundabout to take an exit further round. As I said, feckers. | |||
