Dual carriage ways rant
Discussion
I think this has been discussed a few times recently on here, but this is what appears to be happening all too often on the 2 stretches of duel carriageway on my daily commute:
1. People that do not move into lane 1 when you come up behind them. If you proceed to undertake when safe you then get flashed multiple times
2. When you come up behind someone that is passing at 70mph and the car being passed is doing about 67-68mph, after what feels like forever, when they eventually do complete the pass and finally decide to move into lane one, they then proceed to accelerate upto about 85mph. This happens way to often and is very annoying.
Anyone else get annoyed at this??

There is literally no solution to motorway/dual carriageway related irritations other than to put some chilled music on and cruise in lane one at 60 ish with the odd burst of acceleration as you nip past something particularly slow.
If you're trying to maintain 80+ in any sort of traffic you're only going to come up against stress and frustration.

Relax and find a way to enjoy your commute.

I undertook about 5 people on a 15 minute journey from the gym the other night. I came up behind two cars about 40 yards between each other, no cars infront of them for about 800 yards, sitting in the right hand lane, was tempted just to fly past on the inside, but thought one of them might wake up mid move and do something stupid, so I moved over, and they moved back to the inside lane didn't even have to flash the lights or sound the horn, and let me past, I have no f
king idea why the were sitting in the outside lane though, the cars I had passed previously were again about another 800 yards behind us, people are morons.
It's a bad indication that I also had to undertake a driving instructor a few weeks back, as they were driving atrociously.

Think I can top that. When I drove into work this morning on the dual carriageway, there was only me and another car, which was sitting in the outside lane. As I approached she moved over to the inside to let me past, after I had passed (and moved back to the inside lane as there was no other traffic)I noticed in my mirrors she indicated ad moved back to the outside lane just to sit there with no other cars on the road!!!

She perhaps needed to stay out of the left lane where it becomes an exit lane at the junction 48 miles ahead.
