Persistent overtaking lane hogger

[Whoozit]

As experienced for a good ten minutes on the A1 today. Speed around 65mph up hill and down, ignoring all opportunities to move into the left hand lane. Two lanes only.

What would the advanced driver suggest without breaking the law? I was at a loss for suitable non-inflammatory actions, barring perhaps a right indicator and positioning so clearly visible from offside wing mirror.

And I recognize I could have pulled over for a coffee and the problem would have vanished into the distance. I wanted to be back in time for the tennis, though

Did he brake for speed cameras?

There weren't any below 70 on that stretch.

You've just described many of my on-motorway fantasies. Ah well. Roll on the post-apocalypse and Mad Max buggies

I don't get why it's a problem at all. 10 minutes at 65mph or 10 minutes at 70mph - the difference is about three-quarters of a mile, or about 45 seconds on your journey. Are you really in that much of a rush? Relax.

65mph indicated, not actual. And I may have wished to explore ACPO's guideline of 10 % plus change, where safe to do so of course. Which adding up, would have made a difference.
