YOU SAY! WHATS THE HURRY?WHATS THE HURRY/ You just get to the traffic jam quicker. Many years ago i drove a truck with a max speed (in gear) of 47 mph. It still takes me the same time now days in a more modern faster vehicle to drive to the same destinations. BUSBY

It's about two months now since the new law came in amidst a wave of controversy about prosecuting middle lane hoggers, the consensus was that it couldn't be policed, has anyone heard of a prosecution?
EDIT:- My appologise.. the topic was has anyone heard of any prosecutions.....
Trust me, I dont have a problem getting anywhere, the problem I have is when all traffic stops.
The topic and following posts have been about lane hogging. I just dont see how anyone can drive up right behind another driver hopeing to harrass them into changing lanes when as they stated they could have easily overtaken in the righthand lane without unnecessary harassment. In my mind that is the offence being committed. If an offence was being committed int he first palce.
Are you suggesting that we should overtake on the inside or outside lanes as we wish? or do you agree that we should follow some sort of rules of the road? or are you implying the fastest cars on the road take whatever overtaking manouver they see fit to get them to their destination as fast as they can without having to comply with traffic congestion along with the majority of safe drivers?
Wouldn't that leave road users driving at a lesser speed haveing to speculate which lane a faster on-coming vehicle would be overtaking them? and what if an accident occurs? who would be at fault?
Haveing to overtake in the righthand lane, at least everyone should know what the rules of the road are.. and if that lane is congested.. tough titties, you should wait like everyone else for the road ahead to clear. or pull into the right hand lane for a safer journey.

I wasn't suggesting you were speeding by the way ( God forbid) y:thumb:
I am suggesting that the rules of the road should be observed by all. By hogging the middle lane when the nearside lane is clear effectively makes a 3 lane highway a dual carriageway. You seem to imply that the rules of the road only apply to those that want to overtake and that effectively taking up 2 lanes is perfectly acceptable.
If someone driving in the middle lane has to speculate which side they are going to be overtaken on then I would suggest they know they are in the wrong lane and should follow the rules of the road and pull over.

God forbid is correct.. LOL
May I bring to your attention, driving on the M25 its virtualy impossible to drive at 70mph when the road is free from road works. The middle or outside lanes average 75 - 85 mph or more.... thats just to keep up with the flow.

Your right Buttons, BMW and Audi drivers are said to fit into the stereotype you describe
Do I sense a change,:Blush: we were in fact talking about your driving not your wife's. My ref as you know was referring to men driving this manufactures cars not women. Women have a totally different view of cars than men do. Men in BMWs are a bread unto themselves. Don't believe me ask others. Remember this is FUN.Not sure what "certain type" you think my better half falls into Buttons??
She just liked the car. Is there anything wrong with that?
What is the Buttons version of acceptable?

I was doing my best not to mention Audi, great cars when driven by excellent drivers. Problem is some companies provide them to middle management would be BMW drivers. Bad combination. Gets Audi a bad name.
