Post [b]EVER[/b]!

M4 east bound yesterday afternoon.

RS4 estate

3 MTB's on the roof

Steadfast refusal to move from the middle lane despite lane 1 and 3 being totally empty and numerous drivers flashing/horn/etc.

60mph

Fog lights on

Lots of "hand signals" to everyone who was going past him.

If it's not someone from here then he should sign up!!

Are you sure it wasn't hand wringing?

If lane 3 was empty who cares if he sits in lane 2?

I am a shit driver, never denied that, but I'm not a middle lane hog.
But if I come up behind one on an otherwise empty road I'll just pull into lane three and go past. Why get agitated if it's not causing a problem.

Agree with sweepy.

Someone sitting the middle lane for no reason [i]is[/i] doing wrong.

But why compound that by [i]also[/i] doing wrong (e.g. tailgating, flashing lights, pulling in just in front of them)?

Why even get bothered by it? Just overtake and carry on.

Bingo, the most dangerous drivers are those that swerve immediately from the fast lane to the slow lane, even though they know they'll be swerving straight back out in 3 seconds as they're going much faster than the cars in front.
Yes I get the right lane is for overtaking, but try looking ahead.

Louise was in the passenger seat nagging him so much he was too distracted to notice which lane he was in.

Legal, [i]but[/i] if someone is dozy enough to be sat in the middle lane for no reason then they are likely to be dozy enough to move back into the left lane without checking their left wing mirror or blind spot.

If Louise's reputation is to be believed then she was probably face down in his lap, which also explains the distracted driving.
