Let's play a game......
« on: October 15, 2013, 03:53:28 pm »
So..... I was bored today, of cocks hogging the middle lane and following a "lead driver" in the middle lane.

So.... I thought. Let's play a game!!

I pulled in front of the lead hogger. Old man in a baby blue BMW 320D (not that that is relevant) and began to slow down to see if he would overtake me. Guess what? He didn't, and neither did the other 5 cars following him... I bailed out at 40MPH!!

Absolute fooking brain dead morons....

I notice this.

So I move from 1st to 2nd lane, a car comes up behind me in the 2nd lane and brakes to slow down, 3rd lane is empty.

I finally over take everything in the 1st lane and move back into it.

The guy that braked to slow down rather than overtaking me...speeds up.

WTF?? Use the lanes correctly!!!!!!

Should do laps Rich... i.e 3rd lane to overtake middle lane hogger, back to lane 1, let them overtake you, then back out to lane 3.... and repeat.

I do like this suggestion, but would they notice seeing as they are so unaware?!!

My peev is the flip side - those that can't stand to be overtaken / drive at a constant speed!

The thing is, that they are so oblivious to what there are doing that I am pretty sure that if I had come to a complete stop, the line of cars would have come to a halt! They just drive like sheep...

I hate many many things.... but none quite as virulently as bad driving.

I agree about bad driving. My mum and I once had an arguement in the car because some idiot stopped in front of me and a large line of traffic to let someone out at the side of the road which was just inconsiderate, then straight after at the next traffic light stopped dead even though our filter light was green. I honked and my mum said I was being rude and maybe the other person isn't a very confident driver. She couldn't see my point that driving is not a game and if you can't drive properly you shouldn't be on the road.

Anyway in regards to middle lane driving, I thought the police were given new powers to pull people over and fine them for poor lane discipline on the motorway? I mean these t*ssers who obliviously sit in the middle lane are effectively turning a 3 lane road into a 2 lane road, causing congestion and putting other drivers who have to change lanes around them at risk. (The worst are the ones that sit in the 3rd lane on the 4 lane stretches of the M1 - every time I drive to my parents house in Leeds from the big smoke I always see a few. Honestly makes me want to put my window down and scream at them for their inconsideration and stupidity.)

I find undertaking them usually works as they find it strange that for once someone has passed on the passenger side so they move over. My pet hate is when you stick to your desiered speed say 70 and you pass someone then 2 mins later they pass you then slow down. Then you pass them again then they come flying back past and slow down. Really boils my piss when people can't keep a steady speed. And again the ones you can follow for miles and decide to overtake and they speed up!!!! Get off our roads

This is the same for me. I use a 4 lane section of the M1 to get to my mum's in Notts and quite often there is someone stuck in lane 2 or 3. As TrickGTI said, if this is the case I will undertake, something I don't make a habit of but in cases like this why should I move from lane 1 to lane 4 just to go round some inconsiderate knob.

My biggest pet hate is lazy inconsiderate drivers. I enjoy driving but motorways I'm starting to dislike more and more. No indicators just winds me up so much. Takes no effort whatsoever  :fighting:
