    Okay, here is what you do. You overtake them and pull back into lane 1. Slow down and allow them to overtake you. You then speed up and over take them again and return to lane 1. Repeat this process until either they pull in or you get bored. Simples.

    I'm bored just reading it!

    Why on earth would I want to teach some tool on a motorway driving discipline?

    Because some idiot in a grey suit somewhere decided that trucks have to be fitted with speed limiters.

    its even worse when they sit in the middle lane not even overtaking...

    Indeed.

    The mind set is probably similar.

    These have been all by the its okay to drive in the middle lane and how dare we get flashed group. Yet its fine for you to give straight out nasty insults.

    While the like of me and Matty who have been and the recieving end of the insults have not risen to it.

    Yet we get called the bullies. Nope we just liking getting to our destinations.

    Flashing people is aggressive behaviour. Read into that what you may.

    No it's not, it's to make them aware of your presence. It says so in the Highway Code ;)

    As I have said earlier. It can be assertive and not aggressive.

    Though other comments were using a little more harsh terms. :A

    No, I'd rather leave my car window ajar and listen to the passing traffic.
