About time these inconsiderate menaces got prosecuted
I concur, middle lane hoggers are a right royal PITA.
Fine them, points on the license and a week in the stocks, complete idiots.
camera van operator I know reckons most speeders are in the outer lanes and tends to ignore the nearside lane when out catching speeders.
Too right - fucking cockheads! :D :upyours::upyours:
They do my box in, and shouldn't be allowed near a bloody road - fine 'em and ban 'em for life, I say... How these useless tools manage to pass their test in the first place, I've no idea. And the thick fuck didn't even realise he or she had done anything wrong? Incredible!:doh::rolleyes:
Marco.
Wot he said ^ :)
Sadly this is only the first I have heard of anyone getting done for this!
Mildly annoying but not exactly crime of the century
From the article:
"According to a poll last year, more than four in ten (43 per cent) drivers admit to hogging the middle lane, with most committing this sin to avoid the need to overtake slower traffic such as lorries further down the road"
Lazy bastards. They need to learn that they don't own the road, or any lanes on it, and to SHIFT when it's necessary!
This is the one which gets me, though:
"More than one in five (22 per cent) said they stay in the middle lane because it makes them feel safer, while one in nine (11 per cent) who avoid the inside lane do so because they claim they drive at the maximum speed limit so no one should be overtaking them."
Firstly, if that's the case, and they're so much of a timid snowflake, then they shouldn't be on the road in the first place, especially on motorways. I'd make them "feel safer" in a prison cell! Secondly... Now those smug, arrogant fuckers [self-appointed traffic police] I 'UTTERLY DETEST"!! So, listen up:
It's got FUCK ALL to do with YOU what speed anyone else is driving at on a motorway, as long as they're not putting you (or anyone else there) in any immediate danger. It's not up to you to judge why they're driving so fast. And doing 70mph does not entitle you to hog the outside land of a motorway if the middle lane and/or inside lane is clear!!
If that's the case, and you see someone coming up behind you who, for whatever reason (could be an emergency, you don't know) is in a hurry and wants to overtake, then you *SHIFT YOUR ARSE* out of their way into either lane 2 or 1, and let them past - and YOU SIT THERE, no matter whether you're doing 70 mph or less, until you have good cause to move back out again into lane 2 or 3- END OF!
Understand what your STEERING WHEEL and MIRRORS are for - and fucking use them, ya arrogant, inconsiderate wankers!!
<Rant over>:)
Marco.
would prefer them to stop people who do this in traffic rather than on a quiet road ,when they are probably bored:)
