Thats quite a well reasoned rant HDI. It is the "slow" overtakers that snarl up the traffic. Its a shame you can't be prosecuted for impeding the progress of other road users.

Its not illegal to undertake if the lane on your right is going slower. Its moving over to undertake a single car that can get you into hot water.

So on the way to Abersoch this weekend, theres a Grey Mk5 Golf in front, lesser model than my own I might add.

And hes in the fast lane.

For ages.

Without pulling in.

Despite me being there on his tail for ages, at around 80mph.

So, taking matters into my own hands, I make sure the inside lane is clear and just poke my foot down in 6th - straight past him no worries, and back out into the fast lane. All of a sudden he starts flashing his lights at me! The nerve, frankly. Anyway, he overtook me later on, I think to make a point.

... so when we hit traffic, and I chanced upon the much faster que, he got two fingers and a laugh.

Ah people thinking like me! Most days now I find myself trying to stop myself raging at some muppet doing something muppetous! Always seem to have to avoid/avert someone elses f*** up every day.
Annoyances: Not indicating when going left at a roundabout and your sat there waiting like a dimwit, (sure indicators are optional extras now)
People that look right when about to merge onto main carriageway and see you coming and still pull out (usually a range rover esk)
People that cannot stay in their left lane (slow lane) round a roundabout and cut across you as if they're driving a festering artic.

Thats my monday morning rant

Is it healthy to start the week off with a rant?!

I can live with the center lane hoggers it the right hand lane owners that annoy me and they really do clog up our roads leaving little opportunity for others to make progress.
