Lane discipline

The worst example of bad lane discipline [:(!] recently has to be what a certain boxer allegedly did in his car, which was featured in all the papers yesterday. Where apparently the rough details are that he overtook too many cars, staying in the wrong lane on a two lane two way road for far too long, and drove the car at excessive speed to carry out the manoeuvre. The result was a lot of damage, and distress to a lot of people as the pictures in the papers showed.

The worst bit about what that certain person allegedly did was to flee the scene. He left injured people trapped in a car and ran off, that says a lot about a person. They could have been dead, but all he was bothered with was not getting caught.

Yes, I agree this alleged person made the whole situation a lot worse by thinking only about himself, and fleeing the scene, with no consideration, or remorse for what happened, and the health, and safety of others.

There is nothing more irritating than drivers who stick in the middle lane of the motorway. You can guarantee that if you see a Volvo 440 it will be doing 60 in the middle lane with a guy with a flat cap driving it.

I remember one particular journey round the southern section of the M25, every single person was jammed over in lanes 3 and 4, and doing about 55-60 mph. Lane 1 had the odd truck in it, and lane 2 was empty... literally. In the middle of what should have been reasonably heavy traffic, I had my own personal lane! Not wanting to push my luck too hard, I stuck it at bang on 70, and drove along my lane, making better progress than anyone else on the M25 that evening! Uttery ridiculous really, but there you go.

Fastandetc, had that one myself on the M25, they seemed too busy on the phone to notice that the trucks and I were passing them all! Had a rum drive back through Snowdonia today, caught up to two separate ones with a top speed of 42MPH, out on the white lines, braking to 25-30 MPH for every bend, braking when traffic came the other way??? braking quite fiercely to 25 MPH in a 40 limit??? where do these people come from?
