Just to complicate the concept further, the layout on motorways approaching a junction are being modified so that in place of a slip/decelleration road there are a number of lanes to the main carriageway that then seperate to go their different ways. This extends in some places for miles before the actual divide (not that it gets drivers to travel in the appropriate lane for their destination though!). So we have fast traffic in lane two that will be the "outside" lane of the split passing slow vehicles that are in lane three, but they will be the "inside" lane for the right split.

I always keep to the left, but having said that, I make an exception when the 50mph signs are showing. Then, if there are lots of lorries around, I tend to stay in lane 2 (and go slightly faster if necessary, as once you are below 56mph the lorries become very menacing.

Drive in the LHL and you have some Dick drive 2mph faster than you drive in your blindspot and stop you pulling out, the problem is not the middle lane hoggers it is the Dicks that stop you pulling out when you come to a slower vehicle |

And what about the Dicks that drive in the middle lane following the car in front but will not speed up until that car pulls over, then speed up until they find a slower car, so slow down until they move over but refuse to use the third lane to overtake, but are happy to block the proper driver in the RHL. Don't critisse the 'Hogger' when you will not let them pull out. |

There are a lot more of them about than one might think. When towing a trailer I'm not supposed to use the right hand lane if there is more than two, and often come upon a lorry being followed by a stream of cars at less than 60 mph. None of the cars will use the empty lane to their right to overtake.
