Doesn't that make you a tool though?

Why didn't you move over into the empty lane(s)?

Did you also sit at 72mph in the outside lane once the roadworks had finished?

Why should I inconvenience myself becuase someone wants to hoon past me in an average speed camera area? To be honest I speed a lot, and undertake a lot too, so if I was them (iyswim) and wanted to go fast I would simply have undertook myself, no hassle at all. So why sit behind me for ages trying to intimidate? Doesn't make much sense to me really. And yes, & I'm sure all the bright boys know constant lane changing slows down overall traffic flow, so why should I do that to help some nobber?

WoOOOoooh that upsets some tailgators don't it?! biggrin That was 52 on the gps BTW, so maybe 55ish indicated on the speedo. Bloodyhell some bmw 1 series driver seemed keen to impress me of his importance, and when he eventually undertook me, I had some young asian bird up next, with her face pressed up against the screen doing the same. She eventually found the 'flash' control and gave me a flash to get out the way, whilst wobbling about the lane. She looked like she had all the road sense of my dead grandma.

The op is a idiot if he thinks sitting in lane 3 with lanes 1 and 2 empty is clever.

You deserve any abuse you get!

You are out of order, and forcing other drivers to break the law as well as yourself!! why did you not move into the other lanes?

I came across a nobber like you in my younger days when i was stupid as well so i undertook then went into the 3rd lane and hammered my brakes on, it was pretty spectacular how the other nobber like you reacted!

You realise that's the same mentality as the NSL outside lane fools have that causes you to undertake?

"I'm going the speed limit, so why should I inconvienience myself because someone wants to hoon past me at over the speed limit? I mean he'd be illegal..."

Why did you cause yourself extra grief and raised blood pressure at the morons around you? Just let them past. If they've evoked such feelings of irritation in you why not let them past to collect the speeding points.

OP, you are the one driving wrong. I would have been sitting in L1/ L2 on cruise flashing you to move in rather than ttishly hogging L3. The fact people undertook you (and rightly so) indicates you could have moved in. The speed limit/ presence of cameras is totally irrelevant.
