If i am doing around 70mph in the middle lane and someone starts tailgating or flashing their lights at me, they can f**k off, (unless its police lol) they have the fast lane to overtake me, i won't move into the crawler lane, why should i, im doing the speed limit.

That reminds me, I was driving on I495 the other day, which is the highway that circles Washington DC. There's three lanes, it's about 12:30am. I'm driving in the center lane going 57mph, and the speed limit was reduced to 50mph due to construction. There was no other traffic. I was staying out of the right lane because there was a wall right there and no shoulder due to construction, and where there's construction there's usually debris. This tractor trailer, or "lorry" , comes up behind me. He's coming closer and closer until the top of his headlights are pretty much at the top of my rear window. All I saw was the truck behind me. The **** kept coming towards me but I finally got into the right lane because the truck driver really was making it unsafe, and I didn't feel like 60,000lbs vs. 2500lbs would have a very good outcome.

If I were feeling reckless I would hit the brakes hard enough so that he would have locked up his tires and then floor it and watch him jacknife behind me. But i didn't like the possibility of me getting run over. I hate how truck drivers, in the US at least, feel that rules don't apply to them just because they have 30 tons of weight behind them.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

In the UK, the left hand lane is the same you should be driving in at all times.

If you are an articulated lorry!

Nah, officially it should be that way, but i like to let the lorries and caravanners do 55 odd in the left lane and i can just buzz along at 70 odd in the middle lane, and if people want to do 100+ then they have the option of the right lane, if they choose to accept it, which they dont, they sit on my ass being moody because i am doing about the speed limit, and want me to play russian roulette with foriegn half asleep and probably drunk 40 tonne lorry drivers because they cant move 5 feet to the right of me.

If you're passing vehicles that are in the driving lane then there shouldn't be an issue, if however the driving lane is totally empty and you're still driving in the middle lane, then you're a cockbag that knows **** all about driving and you deserve to be rear ended by a tosser in a BMW.

That is 100% spot on ATC, if the road is empty then i myself would always stay in the driving lane, but as you say, if its full of lorries and stuff then its a bit different.

That's why I don't get why people get annoyed when I'm doing bang on what the limit is, in any lane?

Its incredibly irritating for two reasons: firstly because those that indulge this moronic practice are so incredibly smug about it; and secondly, since overtaking on the inside is illegal and dangerous, by sitting in the middle lane you reducing a three lane carriageway down to two lanes.

You are the reason that traffic is tailing back for three miles.

Never heard of lane three then??? People can always overtake using the right land lane of they want. Plus i very much doubt anyone could undertake using the left lane anyway, because the times i am talking about, it is full of lorries doing 56mph!

I take it you are one of those who is constantly changing from the left lane to the middle lane every 5 seconds to overtake all the lorries one at a time instead of just letting the lorries get on with being slow in the left lane and staying in the middle out of their way?

Pulling out of the left lane doing little over 55mph to overtake a lorry into the path of traffic doing the speed limit on a 70mph road every few seconds is MORE dangerous than just sitting in the middle out of their way IMO.


ANYWAY!

Let's not go too off topic, that or ill start a new thread for the motorway discussions if you like, lets do pictures!!

Of course I'm smug about it. People are idiots when they try to fly by at 20 KMH over the speed limit, so I piss them off. I don't get why people need this "OMG UBER FAST LANE!" idea, have a "OMG UBER SLOW LANE" and a "OMG SPEED LIMIT LANE(s)". Is everyone in that much of a rush that they get pissed off because someone drives like a responsible person (speed limit!), rather than a ****ing salt flats driver?

Great attitude there, pal...

Just like I don't get why some idiot thinks he owns the place and thinks: "aaah, I'm in the middle of things, nothing can happen to me over here!", while traffic that's going faster (gps real speed maybe) is stuck behind you driving actually 5 km/h slower than allowed.

Not to mention over here there's 6 km/h correction if they get you, so you can safely speed 10 km/h on your guages.

I think over here it's a 10% over (or under) for being caught speeding, but it's also down to the officers discretion.

So dustin, if you were doing 80mph and someone was coming up behind you, you would on purposely try and slow them down because they're going faster than you? Who cares if someone else is going over the limit, at the end of the day it's their licence, they are running the risk of being caught, regardless of whether you slow them down or not, as soon as your out of their way they will go back up to their speed anyway.

About sitting in the middle lane, f**k that, if anything happens and your in the center of an accident, you can get hit by cars at either side.

You can safely speed 100 km/h on some roads where cops would be seen from ~10km distance.

The only thing worse on a motorway than a middle lane loser is some cock who tries to impose their own opinion of what's responsible driving on to other people.

It's even worse when that opinion is entirely wrong.

Yes but, THEY CAN USE THE RIGHT HAND LANE TO OVERTAKE!!! Jeez, how hard is it?!?

If they want to go fast, they have the option to overtake, and i am NOT going to get all tangled up with lorries and stuff in the left lane when its busy just because some tosser in a mondeo who wants to do 100+ cant be bothered to just overtake me like a normal person would.

On a quiet 3 lane motorway, of course i will always use the left most lane, sitting out in the middle would be pointless, as i would only do it to avoid the slower stuff, but when there is a never ending stream of lorries/caravanners/horseboxes, whatever.... then i aint gonna constantly pull in and out between them for miles on end passing them one at a time, thats just nonsense.

On a 2 lane then yes, i would always move into the left lane to let people overtake when i see them approaching in the mirror or i would stayin the left lane if i had to, but on a 3 lane, nope.

We are all talking about the idiots that sit in the middle lane on an empty motorway, if you're passing cars that are in the driving lane then it doesn't bloody matter how fast you're going in the middle lane.

Ahh, in that case i will shoosh then!

Pics time!

New Tango adverts, I burst out laughing when I saw a couple of these near my local shops the other day. Make sure you read the can carefully.

I'm sat here crying after reading those adverts. Utter genious

But the best bit being, these are the actual real adverts!

Apparently the development team or whatever theyre called didn't realise until someone was holding the new designed can, covering most of each word but leaving the first letter of each one uncovered.

Some of them are a bit too cRaZy for their own good. Made by some marketing graduate who is 'sooo like, random'. The Facial Mince one made me laugh though
