More the lost art of getting the hell out of the passing lane I think.

Lane 1 and 2 will be clear with a stream of idiots unable to move left out of lane 3.

Default more training required

Nowdays learner drivers are not taught to overtake unless on a duel carriageway or motorway, they will sit behind then as soon as a duel carriage way starts off they go, need more training on how to drive.

Since Lane Hogging has become illegal it gotten worse therefore I reckon some drivers enjoy being naughty 😂😂 Sometimes, being bad feels good eh? Just a theory

I do wonder if some of the M-way Lane-hoggers have set their cruise control at 56mph to see if they can get the manufacturers quoted MPG. Once set nothing, but NOTHING is going to shift them!

Or, people speeding up on a dual carriageway when they've moved over. You're not passing me without a fight.

Moi??? I think not Sir…. Breaking the speed limit and undertaking is sooooooo much more fun. Seriously though, I hate lane hoggers. They sit there without a care in the world causing traffic to stack up behind them, incite people to undertake them or traffic stacking up while trying to overtake. It’s not like they’re not even unaware of the law given the media attention it was given when the law changed. It’s bloody mindedness at the expense of other motorists. Sadly, until it’s effectively enforced nothing will be done.

Van drivers blight. I get this when I overtake a Merc etc etc. its almost like they suddenly wake up and realise that the van that’s overtaken them is not worthy soooooooo they come storming passed and then slow down again. Let the games begin
