There you are tootling along the motorway in lane 1, there is no traffic for the next four thousands miles or so, not one car in sight.

.... apart from mr. middle laner who is blindly sitting in the middle lane at an indicated 68 just half a mile up ahead.



do you:


1. Blast past him still in lane 1, undertaking him at around Mach 7 with antilag engaged and moosive 10 foot flameouts ?

2. wait till the last 9cm, pull very very very sharply to the right out to lane 3, overtake him at around Mach 7 with antilag engaged and moosive 10 foot flameouts and then cut in very very rapidly back to lane 1 resuming where you were, but almost scraping the front of his bumper in the process to make the point that he's a complete weapons grade cock-jockey ?

3. creep up in lane 1 then pull into lane 2, sit behind him and after indicating right for the next 2 hours or so, start flashing him with the main beam and wiggling your car side to side to attract attention and make him realise that other people live on planet earth ?

4. Coffee beans him whilst overtaking in no particular lane ?

If you have time and want a bit of fun.

1 Overtake in lane 3.

2 Pull over into lane 1.

3 Slow down.

4 They will go past you.

Repeat number 1 until one of you gets bored.

Unfortunately, there's nothing you can do, because the MLM is unaware of your presence as another road user. The coffee beans and flashing lights will confuse and disorientate him, and since he isn't looking behind or indeed in front, he will not notice your banzai, lift off oversteer launch to lane 3 and D1-style smoking drift back to L1. Your very proximity to his car is likely to make him swerve like a startled gazelle and wobble off in some random direction. Approach with caution.

Or do what a chap I saw in an S Type R did on the M1 once, after I'd done the L1 > L3 > L1 pas de deux around one likely suspect. Engage high beams at 50 yards and depress right foot. It worked too biggrin

never really been something that bothered me i just carry on, what's more annoying is when someone moves to lane 3 from lane 2 then proceeds to either match the speed of lane 2 or slow down. Never understood why people bother

And this is why the problem gets worse, not better.

Accept poor standards, and poor standards become accepted.

PH: When did the rot set in?


I tend to just drive by mystified and pull into lane one ASAP, to see if they notice. If not, quietly think "tt" to myself and proceed on my merry way, no need to do anything particularly aggressive.

Do you not understand irony?

To illustrate - Stop being a moron and just let people post what they want. You're not a PH moderator.
