Quietly mention that there's an unmarked plod, i.e. "careful, unmarked plod, you don't want to get pulled over".
If he knows what he's doing wrong, hell use the inside lane. If not, he'll ask you and you can say "oh, they're clamping down on middle lane drivers".
Slightly less confrontational as you're not directly criticising his driving.

When the road is curving left, remind him that the car will travel less far in lane 1 and that he will therefore save on wear and tear and fuel costs.
When the road curves right, a cunning distraction strategy will be required to stop him drifting into Lane 3. Maybe saying, "I've shagged your daughter, btw" or something similar.

Sod that, reach across, grab the wheel and give it a big twist towards the inside lane, at he same time shouting (as loud as possible):
"You silly fool, it's people like you that screw up our once great country with your dodering lack of lane disipline"
That should do it.......... ;-)

We need car make/model, registration number and road being traveled.
At this point we can offer a multitude of services ranging from a toot upon overtaking up to (and including) shouts of 'Speed up granddad'.
BTW: No-one was a bad as my father at driving. On heading to London we used to leave Suffolk at 4am to miss the traffic

Well, made it safely home - fortunately the OH's mum took over shortly after I last posted so the rest of the journey was spent doing the correct speed in the correct lane.
It's alarming that I would need to alert him to his error at all considering the amount of people who were passing us in lane 1.
I might have to use the line about fuel economy and the inside of corners in the future. That would probably have some effect. :-)
