Cerikbok Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 And they say sports car drivers are dangerous!! Having spent a large part of the last week on the road (2 8+ hour drives) I seemed to notice that when I am being passed. It is always by some knob jockey in an Audi Estate or SUV. If not an audi then some other sort of estate/SUV. Not only do they fly by you doing 95+ but they also like to ride right up on your rear before they pass you nearly blowing you off the road! I counted at least 15+ times on my 4 hour drive home last night that I was either being tailgated or getting passed at likely 100 by one of these arseholes, and I am nearly always in the middle lane doing about 70. I know I usually speed everywhere between 5-10 over but for christs sake I don't try and blow people off the road! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexM Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 If you're not filtering properly, then I'm not surprised. I hate people who sit in the middle lane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogmaw Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 a supra in the slow lane forget it The good thing about the slow lane is that you quickly get caught up and overtaken by the faster cars. Then you can pick and choose which ones you want to catch up with for a bit of fun. Better than dying of boredom in the middle lane at 70?

Spike3.0 Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 4X4's are the main cars I see boming down the M5 near Bristol, always doing 100+mph Probley rushing to get their crops in before sunset with their Combine harvesters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Perhaps they were venting their spleen at a middle lane driver? More than likely! a supra in the slow lane forget it it's not the slow lane, it's the driving lane, the other two are for overtaking. If most people on the road would remember this we'd have far better traffic flow on our motorways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't matter how much i tell her so we can start with her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerikbok Posted March 23, 2009 Author Share Posted March 23, 2009 I tend to stay in the middle lane because I am usually always overtaking those in the left, I always move out of the way for cars but when they com flying up on your arse it's hard to move as fast as they want!

Supra-Brett Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 it's not the slow lane, it's the driving lane, the other two are for overtaking. If most people on the road would remember this we'd have far better traffic flow on our motorways. I agree, move to the left if you can, move out if you need to overtake. I also think that it should be illegal to pull out into the path of another car if you make them slow down (no matter how fast they are going !!). Im fed up of idiots pulling out into the fast lane at 60mph!!!. Floor it and speed up, or stay left, simple as that. If you have a slow car then you cant overtake tuff luck. Dont get me started with lorries overtaking lorries on duel carraigeways like the A34:d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
