Anyone dashcam shopped a lane hogger?
Discussion
I don't usually like dashcam snitchers unless its for something pretty serious, and middle lane hogging isn't serious - its just selfish and annoying.
Lost track of the number of times I had to go from lane 1 to lane 3 and back coming back from Gatwick late Sunday when the hogger should have been keeping left as there was NOTHING around them. It just seems that its getting worse and worse and a few prosecutions and Daily Mail headlines might help address it?

No, but I got grassed up by a moron lane hogger to the police for undertaking one and had to do a 're-education' course. This country is the pits.
That is pathetic. Police should be responding to ask why the submitting driver was able to be undertaken in the first place.I thought if you maintain your speed and pass somebody on the left hand lane it wasn't an offence?

Just stay in lane 1, usually the fastest lane nowadays anyway.
Me too!Driving on an empty 3 lane motorway at the speed limit with cruise control can be tedious and the encounter with the solitary middle lane moron adds some stimulation to the journey. Keeps me awake!.

No, you pass on the right in this country (UK). There are limited conditions when you can pass on the left legally. Two wrongs don't make a right; and passing on the left is a greater offence too.I thought if you maintain your speed and pass somebody on the left hand lane it wasn't an offence?

No, I wouldn't film them and send the footage to the police. Not only is it tragically petty but one day it might happen to you. Just take comfort from the fact you're more perfect than them and enjoy your day.
I haven't sent anything away to the police, but if I can... I send footage to companies if employees are using their phones in company signed vehicles..
Like the f
kwit in a HGV on his phone that had to emergency stop at the roundabout has he hadn't seen me on it...
I'm usually on a bike, so find phone usage far more dangerous to me than someone asleep in the middle lane.
I usually go by them in lane 1, sometimes they wake up, sometimes they don't.

"multi-lane carriageway in congested conditions,"Your definition of congested is what?
For what it’s worth, I have the displeasure of doing Yorkshire to Hampshire and back on a regular basis and the lane hoggers are truly dreadful. Now there are many sections of 4 lane motorways they have gravitated to lane 3 quite often.
Contrast that to the many miles I do in Europe where it’s never an issue. It’s a stark difference.

Education is the only answer, idiots will never be bored, even though you could possibly program traffic cameras to I D this, staffing is so low
I would suggest the person who got done for undertaking, there is more to that story
I routinely undertake, in as obvious a way as possible, but it 8s not right
Why? Multiple reasons, foreign drivers are a big part of it, education is, 4 lane motorways seemed to really make it worse, AFAIK, education seems the ono6 way
I will say 90% of the people I go close to or undertake never correct or bat an eyelid, but they do sometimes speed up, which is fine as I then stay in lane and allow them to progress.

Generally, if you ignore the advice given in The Highway Code you may be guilty of dangerous driving.
