Motorway Lane Discipline - It's easy, really!

Now, I'm not one for moaning (honestly, I'm not), but I feel I must mention a topic close to my heart. Middle lane hogging on motorways.

Look at this bloke. He's obviously completely obvivious to the fact that there is absolutely no traffic anywhere near him (which is worrying), or he actually thinks this is the correct way to drive on the motorway (which is just as worrying). Either way, he's wrong.

For one, it doesn't help that it appears to be a BMW driver (joke!), and OK, so it's possible he's doing 120mph, in which case nobody will be overtaking him any time soon. However, I reckon he probably isn't, so everybody will have to pull out from lane 1 into lane 3 to overtake, meaning that the motorway is effectively reduced to two lanes. If the motorway had 4 lanes, he'd probably do this in lane 3, making all of the government's road expansion programmes redundant!

This kind of driving is causing many of the tailbacks on our motorways today and needs to be stamped out. However, as ever, the police just don't have the resources. So maybe we can all just do our part?

Until next time, drive sensibly!
