Motorway driving is so simple - there's really only two things you need to do...
1) use the outer lanes for overtaking
2) leave plenty of distance to the vehicle in front

I have friends and family who live in London/Oxford and often return to Stoke on a Sunday afternoon/evening after a weekend away and use the M40, this part of the journey the traffic is often lighter then when I reach the M42 and M6. As a consequence of this I encounter lots of middle lane hoggers on relatively quiet stretches of motorway on the M40, as an estimation I would say that 75% of these lane hoggers are either middle aged caucasian women alone in a car or cars with Asian families in.
Now my theory is that some of these lane hoggers use the motorways so infrequently that they feel safer with as much tarmac around them as possible. I often overtake these drivers then indicate and move back into the inside lane only to look in my mirror to see the offending driver still rigidly stuck in their middle lane.
These type of drivers are a danger to all of us, as is the constant lane jumper who during heavy/slow traffic attempts numerous lane changes to advance to what usually amounts to 3 or 4 cars further down the motorway than those of us who stay in lane and go with the flow.

The me, myself and I society is fairing well in this great country of ours! Yep...My thoughts exactly . Manners , respect and common sense seem to be in short supply and an expensive car seem to be an invaluable aid to show how important the person is . It's simply an extension of someone's personality in many cases . I'm not sure if I would want to go to these lengths personally . |

Thats the reason for half the problems on the motorway as everyone slows and speeds up in an ever increasing spiral. No matter how bad the motorways get in the UK, they will never hold a candle to what it's like driving in Napoli. |

My answer to that is "so what" |

Conspicuous by its absence on this thread is mention of the 70mph speed limit.
