Middle-laners? I usually overtake them and then wildy swerve accross all three lanes in front of them, narrowly missing their front bumper.

One of the funniest ones I had was when I was on the phone whist driving on the A14. It was frowned at at this point but not an offence. Anyway this guy pulled up alongside me waving his fist and shouting, clearly looked a bit of a nervous/neurotic type. THEN he got his phone up and was holding it up aiming at me to take a photo of me using my phone.....all whilst driving at 70mph and not looking at the road ahead of him...the irony!

 

Ha ha.

That Andy Collins is nuts isn't he?

There are bad drivers out there, nowt to do with what lane your in.

Indicate, get by them, problem solved!

 

You can't always get by them with such ease Stephen because the outside lane is full of other drivers also trying to get by.

As someone who drives arb trucks with chippers or land rovers all the time... I by the very nature of the beast drive slower than most on the roads. My personal pet hate up there with tail gating and lane hogging is when people overtake you then immediately cut back in front of you at speed missing your front bumper by millimetres.... yes technically they are going faster than you and will be 2 miles down the road further than me in no time but its very dangerous, not to mention a major distraction (due to the shock and surprise of it).
