I'm not trying to justify the hogging of the middle lane.
What about the elements of the large lorries that dominate the 1st lane, plus caravans and those of the slower disposition. Is it more dangerous and increasing the chances of accidents occurring from people that are already incompetent at driving, moving from the 1st to the 2nd lane and back again more often?
I'm not a middle lane hogger myself, its just that sometimes I have a squeaky bum time from retards braking, lane changing (especially without indicating) and generally moving road position. Is it easier to leave the mongs in one place then the more aware people of the world can work around them?
Again, I'm not defending the idiots. Sometimes giving people responsibility for themselves, a 1 tonne vehicle and reading the road situation isn't great!?
Which comes into play the argument of extra driving training and stronger policing? Or is it more dangerous a poor driver on the road or someone speeding?
