current state of motorway driving

[Ziplobb]

Need to rant about this. Came over to the mainland from the Isle of Wight yesterday to drive to the Midlands. I only drive on motorways maybe 2/3 times a year and its been very noticeable to me that the general standard of driving is rapidly going downhill. M27, A34, M6, M42 & M54. Started in very heavy rain and instantly noticed many vehicles with no lights on. At several points visibility was extremely poor to the point where the vehicle in front was not visable. Lorries on the A34 trying to pass each other and actually having to pull back in because they cannot get by. Middle lane morons. Drivers not pulling over to let faster vehicles pass in outside lane. People driving far to close for the conditions. In a queue today where M6 meets M5 the smell of weed. All of the above not just a handful of incidents but its every few hundred yards. At times I felt quite unsafe. By contrast M6 toll , complete contrast with no hold ups and thoughtful courteous drving.
