We drove back from the port last night with clear roads, just a few lorries and other MHs. Speeds were in the 50s and we had an easy journey One thing that did niggle though was a MH that overtook us in the third lane at a speed of 60 plus (more like 70 lol). As I was overtaking a large lorrry at the time the turbulance was a bit off putting :Sad:. I don't have a problem with him choosing to travel at that speed (I don't know the circumstances - he may have left the kettle on at home) but personally I don't think a MH should be in that lane.
Question: do you overtake in the third lane?
70mph on motorway 60 on dual carriageway 50 single carriageway

I stay in the middle lane all the time if I am doing 50 or 90 that way you do not have to keep signalling and wearing out the tyres by changing lanes all the time, if you leave the rear fog lights on all the time other people can see you better:thumb:

I do change lanes if in traffic on the motorway as I keep going in the one that is moving sometimes if you change 50 or 60 times it saves you several seconds on your journey:Wacko:

Much worse are the toe rags in cars who dawdle on the inside lane until you pull out to overtake and then they accelerate away to avoid being overtaken by a MoHo...:Angry:
more frustrating than the middle lane hogger is Reginald in his 1968 Morris Oxford doing 55 in the outside lane, oblivious to the 4 mile tailback of cars behind him......thats why theres a middle lane, for undertaking. oh: :Blush:

I have skipped straight to the end here so apologies is it has already been mentioned
[HI]
Lane 3 or 4 as is now the case otherwise what used to be known as the outside lane may ONLY be used by vehicles of 3.5 ton or less & that are not towing :Angry:[/HI]
I say this as a professional driver & it really Foxtrots me off when I see some Posh Twat in his Range Rover towing in that lane & the stuuuupid seasonal caravaner following suit.
Should you fall into this bracket & happen to pass me you will receive abusive language.....
RANT OVER....................

Don't know why this thread is on here if u don't know the rules of the road shouldn't be on it. It's simple on a motorway there are 3 -4 lanes only one lane matters which is the driving lane. The other lanes are for overtaking unless told otherwise. It worries me ppl ask these questions and they drive. oh:
its the tax. Chris Eubanks had a peter built for his private car he never had an hgv but he could drive on the motorway and over take in 3 lane as the unit only weighed 6 and a half tonne. But wat I am saying it's worrying that a lot drivers out there so call professional drivers don't know the rules. I have a question to ask. Wen can u turn right on a motorway? Let's see who knows that.That there is discussion and disagreement on this issue between professional drivers then it is good that it is discussed here:thumb: Very often there are grey areas, for example the highway code makes mention of Goods Vehicles, but nowhere have I seen the differential in that document between Goods and Private Light Goods, and they both can be over 10 ton! (not that I have read it for a while:Blush

that turning is the infirmary that's one answer.the obvious one.when there is an exit ramp on the right.
For example.. In Glasgow city center, on the mate .. I think (not sure, been a few years) it goes to Anniesland X ?
I believe this is incorrect. My motorhome is over 3.5 ton and I can use the outside Lane on a motorway as long as I'm not towing. (im also a professional driver)
Your right he is incorrect.
My motor home like yours is over 3.5 ton and I can use the outside lane legally.
I'm not a professional driver but an [HI]unemployed village idiot[/HI].
