Gotta agree, the middle lane is the first overtaking lane meaning when youve done with the overtake bugger off back to lane 1 and get out my bloody way!

Can you fit three car seats (one infant) in a Saturn SL-1?

It's not actually illegal to undertake in certain circumstances. I think in fact (unless they've changed it ) the Highway code says you can undertake if the traffic in the right hand lane is travelling more slowly than in your lane (But this doesn't mean you can weave from lane to lane). A better solution is to Tax members of the MLOC (Middle Lane Owner's Club) for their inconsiderate use of public highways.

Erm, check the facts before making claims. Motorways are very safe, most accidents happen in towns and on country roads.

In the US they ban lorries from the outside lane or two and allow overtaking on either side.

I have seen some near missies but it isn't anywhere near as dangerous as car pool lanes (people at 0mph merging into a two second gap in an 80mph lane).

I think the frustration of sitting behind some flat cap wearing Volvo driver is much worse than being able to overtake on either side.

I don't think the speed governors for lorries were a positive change either.

Can a hot dog crack your windshield if thrown at you from another moving vehicle??


Roundabouts work much better than traffic lights though, it's just the average American driver is too slow to make them work here, they often take a couple of seconds to start moving when the lights change, so they'd never make it out on a busy roundabout. The average soccer mom in the UK would be thought of as a racing driver here.

We know that these people exist, so make allowances for them: extra time for your journey would leave you feeling satisfied and relaxed behind the wheel when you next encounter these people you "hate".

Also, extra time allows for the driver that is travelling at 75mph in the 70mph overtaking lane.

If overtaking on the left (which is allowed if the lane on the right is moving more slowly, e.g. traffic jam etc) were allowed in normal traffic flow it would be abused and inevitably lead to more accidents.....

What do you think about the new law they are trying to pass re: NO smoking in a vehicle with a child in it?

Why do some people stop so far behind others at stop lights?

As someone mentions earlier it is not an offence to overtake a vehicle on the left if the traffic in the lanes to your right are stationary or very slow moving in order to make progress, allowing it as common practice would probably increase the number of accidents as people have a tendancy to move from the middle to left lanes without checking mirrors. No one wants to be along side them when they decide to.

Am I going to die driving in the ice and snow for the first time?

As an experienced driver I think your suggestion is a good one but only as long as all other drivers are aware of the rule to overtake on the inside.
As regards returning to the nearside lane after overtaking. If this was strictly complied with the whole of the motorwork netway would grind to a halt. Nearly all m/way accidents are caused when a vehicle is in the proccess of changing lanes. If they were to return to the nearside lane as you suggest, we would have miles and miles of single and double lane traffic
