So I'm working down in Leamington Spa this week and currently in the car on the way down with a new lad at work driving.

From our office to the hotel is 222 miles. I'm sat here constantly looking over my left shoulder at an empty inside lane. We have just joined a motorway with nothing infront and nothing behind and he went straight for the middle lane.

So far we have been passed on the left 17 times and this is no joke. 1 hour 45 mins of this fun to go.

Not sure how many more subtle hints I can drop before I ask him what the fk he is doing.

Ask him why he's doing it without appearing critical. You're stuck in a confined space with him for a long time. He also might tell you to get out of his vehicle and leave you stranded.
At the end of the journey suggest he reads the highway code.
Its a Pool car so not his and I'm training him this week so he kind if needs me. Might suggest we stop and buy a highway code at the services.

Only 2 more to pass on the left so far.

In the average 50 on the M1 at the moment and we are in lane 1 so all good at the moment.

Good evening chaps.

We arrived safe and sound after stoping for a 'toilet' break at the services and me insisting on continuing.

I did point out a few people sitting in the middle lane cursing them to which he laughed.

This fella is in his thirties and has only been driving a few years and this was his first attempt at any kind of distance. Something he never mentioned when he offered to drive.

Its safe to say I will drive the return leg.

I totally agree with comments on here in that its the driving instructors not educating their students to the correct rules of the road. I was correctly taught how to drive on a motorway when I passed in 2005. Not that long ago by any stretch.
