M3 closed again! But good policing on the A3

[Mr Tidy]

So by way of background I go from Sandhurst to Worcester Park at least once a week, usually twice, to help out my 94 year old mother.

I used to use the M3, but for the last year or so it has been the non-motorway as it is generally closed before I get to it!

So coming home tonight around 20.30 it was closed again from J2 to J4a, so I stayed on the A3 (heading for the A31 and A331).

Between Ripley and Guildford on the A3 I caught up with a police X5 travelling in the inside lane at about 65 mph - usual reaction, everyone sh*t themselves and slowed to 69 mph, but didn't change lanes! Graphic popped up in the rear of the police X5 telling people not to hog the middle lane - great idea, even if it didn't seem to work for the tw*t in a white Polo in front of me.

Hopefully they will start giving out some tickets!

It's used a lot, it does take a while for people to understand it means them, but there is also a 'USE CORRECT LANE' Followed by a <<<<< just to get the message across.

Tickets are given out by Surrey for Careless and Inconsiderate driving relating to using the wrong lane.

Shame none was given out on Friday then as far as I could tell! A3 was mostly populated by the clueless, with smatterings of f*ckwits!

the van is regularly at that location - possibly the straightest section of three lanes around - why?

If I was a cynic I might suggest it is because that is therefore where they stand to raise the most revenue!
