Can we please stop calling it that!
You sound like a 17 year old girl that's just passed her test!
The motorway has 1 driving lane and two overtaking lanes, no "fast" lanes!
To be fair, the inside lane tends to be the fast lane these days. You sound like a 17 year old girl that's just passed her test!

I am getting so fed up with terrible lane etiquette on motorways, it's dangerous if nothing else.

On the 4 lane stretch of the M1 going from Luton to the M25 people treat it like an American Freeway, where you can drive in any lane at any speed.
I completely agree with the post that the inside lane is sometime the fastest, I travelled between 2 junctions of the M25 only using the inside lane and whilst the middle and outside lanes were conjested, travelling circa 50mph, I did 70 the whole way. (does this count as undertaking, I saw it as the other two lanes were slowed due to traffic so I was free to pass on the left due to my lane being clear).
Poor lane discipline really annoys me, its not rocket science!

What I don't get is, when in traffic, one lane starts to 'move' and everyone heads for like it is the last w
e on the street. Then the other moves, then the other. Lunacy at it's best.
There is no 'fast lane', just the lane that you chose to continue on your journey at a constant pace.

Hope it wasn't the average speed camera section, hence the reason why they were all doing 50.I completely agree with the post that the inside lane is sometime the fastest, I travelled between 2 junctions of the M25 only using the inside lane and whilst the middle and outside lanes were conjested, travelling circa 50mph, I did 70 the whole way.

You should always drive in the left-hand lane when the road ahead is clear. If you are overtaking a number of slower-moving vehicles, you should return to the left-hand lane as soon as you are safely past...

Do not overtake on the left or move to a lane on your left to overtake...

Why moan?
You know what the mean when they say it, So whats the problem?
Do you know the lane personally and know for a fact that its upset people are calling it nasty names?
Get over yourself ffs.
Because, it's this idea of slow, middle, fast which leads to, "I'm traveling at a normal speed, so I use this lane." rather than practice good lane discipline.You know what the mean when they say it, So whats the problem?

Get over yourself ffs.
The thinking is, it's this mentality that contributes toward Motorway driving standards.
