    Yesterday I had the misfortune to be behind an idiot who slowed down to 54 mph in the fast lane of the A1 to stop me getting past, I moved into the lafthand lane as I was turning off at the next junction, the car in front thought I was going to undertake him so he accelerated.
    If I pass this video onto the police will they do anything or am I wasting my time?
    The video can be seen here

    We have 'crawler' lanes for SLOW moving vehicles,
    Only up hills, where certain vehicles could be dangerously slow
    why should it be wrong to refer to the outside lane as the fast lane, fast being opposite to slow?

    It's not for driving fast in. No matter what speed you're doing, you should drive on the left. Lane 1 let's call it. Speed isn't a reason to be in lane 2, only overtaking or turning right, or some other stuff, would be a reason. It's semantics, but it's important.
