I can see it certainly gets your goat.
It is annoying I agree, and dangerous when the road is occupied... on a totally empty road although there was no point in the knob being in the middle lane, but can’t see a huge deal personally if the road is totally empty.

Exactly. These self-important morons are reluctant to use the first lane for fear of "losing their place", and being stuck behind something slower. Their attitude seems to be that anyone going slower than them are dawdling, and any faster than them are reckless.
In my experience the French get it right (although the autoroutes are mostly 2 lane). If you are tanking along at eighty or so and a car up ahead is in the second lane, they see you and get out of the way quick sharp. That's my experience, and I'd rather drive there any day of the week. If they can get it right why can't we?

Annoying, particularly when you are in the inside lane and have to go over two lanes just to get past, particularly if there are no other cars around.
I'm sometimes naughty, after getting past a middle lane hog via the 3rd outside lane and back in the inside lane, I switch my hazards on for a few seconds. That invariably gets the hog over to the inside lane. Please don't report me using my hazards!
I find fast undertakers far more annoying and also drivers who do not give way to traffic on their right when entering a roundabout.

It seems a lot of folk have to have an outlet for their dickhead-ness, and because of all the speed cameras they need to find some other way to be a twat. Recently I've noticed a big increase in the number of people taking the piss with traffic lights, going through long after they've gone to red. It's got so I really have to look around me before setting off on green.
Toyota Prius taxis are the worst offenders, though German cars come a close second

Bad driving and inconsiderate drivers are bain of modern roads.
It used to be a form of pride that you learned to drive properly and behaved to other drivers as you would wish to be treated.
Now its just, me, me, me

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

I'm Dave.
Depending on circumstances it may not bother me as much as it appears to bother you. However, on one trip not very long ago I reckon one driver stuck in the middle lane for at least 50 miles, possibly more, from somewhere round the M6 toll down to the M25. Also was not going too fast - so when we pulled off for a coffee, catching up with him was easy, but figuring out how to get round somewhat less so. Seemed a complete plonker, and maybe oblivious to other cars completely.

I think a lot has to do with risk compensation - the safer the car, the more unsafe the driver. Manufacturers should stop dicking around with crumple zone, seat belts and airbags, and fit a steel spike to the steering wheel. I bet we'd see some better driving then
