"Hogging the middle lane"

You've already been told it is illegal, so you're either a troll and imbecile or both.

People on this forum is FULL of people who do what is right for them. I don't mind if people think of me as a "troll", that is the choice of people reading my posts.


My post was asking what is wrong with it? If there is something genuinely wrong with it then I will have to move over to the other side. I don't think my badge allows me to do what I want but I do think its fair to use it to show my disability when someone has a go at me.


It is no different to someone saying they are a hero if they have been in the army when they want to be treated a little less aggressively.


Why does it annoy people? What is wrong with doing the limit in the middle lane. I do not stay in the middle lane if a lane is closed though.


I don't want to be hated on here, I do want to understand.

Read up on the law then - making stupid comments like your opening statement isn't going to win you any friends or likes at all. GOOGLE is your one and only friend right now.

stayed in the middle lane for miles and miles. Well I did. Is there anything wrong with this?

Yes. Lots.

But explaining it to you would serve no purpose.

And if I posted my opinion of your behaviour on this board, I would probably get banned.

Since you are so clearly ignorant of the rules of the road and actually uncomfortable being on one, maybe you should stay off them.

TBF it was probably the M3 that attracted the unwanted attention rather than the homemade sarnies and blue badge.

Not the terrier in a tartan coat tied to the bumper?

I suspect this has been covered before, but how do you define middle lane hogging? If the inside lane is fairly full and you are travelling faster than that lane, is there a problem? I always pull over if there is room but then feel like I'm just giving room for the middle lane hogger behind me. If there's about 200m space in inside lane before the next line of lorries, do you bother turning in or just stick to the middle lane as you're going faster anyway? I agree, someone needlessly in middle lane not going faster than inside lane is a right pain, but it's not always that clear cut.

The dark side? That's a matter for your conscience.

So many DM personas his week, anyone would think the schools are off.

Thank you. I guess what I have been doing is just driving and looking forward and staying there, looking to my right sometimes to see if anything is wanting to overtake me.


I don't too often look to the right but I should perhaps give it more thought. It sounds quite a sad thing when someone has pulled over just to feel they have given way for me to carry on.

I understand a bit more now and will try to stay more to the left (I will think of that song to the left to theft).
