Does anybody else get fed up with drivers who hog the middle lane on motorways?
Answers:
YES i spend a lot of time driving on motorways. I undertake them then pull into the middle lane just in front of them and then straight back into the inside lane. this usually works and gets the stupid people to move over.
The other annoying thing people do is undertake me when I'm doing 90mph keeping with the cue of traffic and then pull in front of me and go slower than i am. they do this because i drive a big van and cant stand to be behind one even though I'm going faster than they are.
Damn this question has got me worked up I HATE STUPID PEOPLE IN CARS!!!!!!!!
only if they have this .Pelvic inflammatory disease (or disorder) (PID) is a generic term for infection of the female uterus, fallopian tubes, and/or ovaries as it progresses to scar formation with adhesions to nearby tissues and organs. This may lead to tissue necrosis with/or without abscess formation. Pus can be released into the peritoneum. ⅔ of patients with laparoscopic evidence of previous PID were not aware they had had PID (Cecil's 5th ed). PID is often associated with sexually transmitted diseases, as it is a common result of such infections. PID is a vague term and can refer to viral, fungal, parasitic, though most often bacterial infections. PID should be classified by affected organs, the stage of the infection, and the organism(s) causing it. Although a sexually transmitted infection is often the cause, other routes are possible, including lymphatic, postpartum, postabortal (either miscarriage or abortion) or IUD related, and hematogenous spread.
Almost as much as the idiots who post these sites.

undertake with the horn going!
yes but theres always the 3rd lane
yeah.
me
and
my
mom
and..
I do it so learn to put up with it. If you harrass me for doing it then you will regret it fella
yes, i do and i just go right on there tail and flick them off that teaches them a lesson.
no, that is where they should be. Left lane is for fast drivers; middle lane is for cruisers if its available; right lane is always for the slower drivers.
oh my God yes i totally agree with you. me and my housemates were discussing this just 10 mins ago. i tend to either overtake or just hope that they will see in their mirrors just how close you are to them and hope they will get the message and shift lane.
What? They don't let you drive on them? Just how is that possible?
i get fed up with people that overtake me on the inside when im doing nearly 65 !!
arrogant twats get on my nerves, it makes me so angry I could aaaarrrrrrrgggggghhhhh
i drive a white van and have a sign on the back syaing "good drivers use the inside lanes whenever possible ! Why Dont You" and its suprising how many move over to the inside lane when i have done the same after overtaking them
yes i fuckin do they are apain in the fuckin *** that goes for the big wagons who think they own the land naming m6 and m5
Whats with the guy who has answered about STD's??
Yes, they wound me up. I was on the M6 yesterday and there were so many!! Its dangerous as well, because people get fed up and undertake them.. i have been guilty of that in the past if its an empty motorway, or Im getting boxed in with the outside lane taken as well. Why should i take the effort to cross two lanes to overtake them?
Idiots.. with no road sense. They are properly in their own world chatting on their mobiles or singing to SAGA FM.
I usually stay to the right so if someone wants to pass me, then he can. However, if the far right lane is full of merge ramps, then I ride the middle lane. If it is a 3-lane road, then people can on-ramp without me in the way and people can pass me if they think I am going too slow. The middle lane is there for a reason, so use it.
Yes YES!!
I have overtaken one and then pulled into the middle lane myself and slowed up a bit so they find they are sat behind me. They then try to overtake and I floor mine and they end up looking a bit of a twat overtaking nothing in the outside lane with Mr Flash BM or Merc closing down on them doing a tonne!
Revenge!
yes make me cross especially when there is nothing in the inside and i have to come out of the inside lane go into the overtaking lane and then swoop back into the inside again. ..when i look in my mirror they are still sitting in the middle. Why.
i keep getting a person popping up about stds.dont know what thats about. hes everywhere igo on this site..oh well i will get on with the answer.yes i do get very pissed off with them. some go along at about 55 and it is very dangerous. speeding is dangerous.yes i agree but very slow driving is also dangerous. i have got a thing with the word dangerous havent i.lol
YES! I move into the outer lane and overtake them. I also hate the drivers who don't indicate; who come off the roundabout on the inside lane even though they went round it on the OUTSIDE lane; drivers who still use their mobiles whilst they drive; drivers who can't say thanks for a courtesy another has done them. oh I could go on and on, but shan't :-))
Yes. They are a menace. What is worse, however, is drivers who hog the right hand lane in dual carriageways. They are rife where I live.
I can't stand them - it's got to be my biggst pet hate! I have a mate who's a courier who maintains that only lorries and coaches have to go in the "slow lane". I think it shows that we need further drivers education being made compulsory after passing our driving test. Maybe "L" plates for the motorway or something!
As for what I do - undercutting seems to annoy them - illegal I know but still..
Ask this question, aren't we all fed up with drivers who think they own the road. No offense to you, but you don't own the road, nor those anyone else does, just learn to live with it. Since they are driving in the middle lane, just use the adjacent lanes and pass him, its really not that big of a problem.
Yes, does my nut in if. they are calledovertaking lanes for a reason.
I undertake them and most seem to then pull in.
Yes I hate it, you should try a 2 lane motorway when they hog the right lane - very annoying,a few times I had to undertake on the left lane, when it's quiet and they are not overtaking anything. Once I was on a 3 lane motorway, it was quiet and a car was in middle, so I just moved over to the middle, the right to overtake, and then back in middle and left.
This annoys me so much.
If people would bother to use the roads correctly, then Im sure the conjestion on Motorways would be no where near as bad.
The middle and outside lanes are for overtaking only, not driving in. I move to the middle lane, get right up their backsides and flash my lights at them. More often than not they are on mobile phones too.
What alse gets my goat is the people that insist on using the outside lane then realise the junction they need is 20 yards away, so they have to cut across 3 lanes of traffic. Arent the big 20ft blue signs visible enough?
Letting these thoughtless people annoy you only adds to your stress! Accept them for what they are, and move on! If you are determined to overtake them, go to the outer lane and do it.
Otherwise, just chill.
If you would slow down, and remember to share the road, you wouldn't be as aggravated. People need to remember the highways "Do Not Belong to You Solely".
Bloody irritating.
Just cruise up behind them (they never use mirrors either, by the way) switch on the blue strobes and two-tones and "have a quiet word" on the hard shoulder about lane discipline!!
Yes very annoying. I have in the past gone up the inside on my bike at well over 150mph but, with the benfit of hindsight thats stupid. The real question is why does no one get taught how to use the motorway in UK. It would create presedent on exactly how to use the three lanes enabling us all to predict what the fool is doing. This occurs in most european countries but not UK!
In germany they have excellent road discipline and always pull in after over taking, I have even witnessed it from someone travelling at well over 100mph.
