Motorways
Just got home from visiting the south coast. Had to join the M5 & M6 for the latter stages of the journey.
What a nightmare they are!!! Middle lane hoggers - I like to travel in the middle lane but at a faster speed that the one on the left. There is always a hogger who sits there regardless of speed and the vehicles trying to get past, but then you get some idiot from behind who overtakes from the left lane, right in front of you!!
Why can't trucks stick to one lane and not have to pull out just to overtake another one? What's the point of that?
A real nightmare trying to get through Birmingham when all the lanes are full of traffic inching their way through. AND why do I ALWAYS chose the slowest lane behind some truck?
Of course there had been an accident further along the M6 so the traffic came to a stop. Fortunately was able to get off at an earlier junction and riddle through some Cheshire lanes before reaching home.
So glad to be home.

Re: Motorways
I always like to moan about lorry drivers who tailgate me. I stay in the slow lane, doing a steady 50-55. I'm in no hurry. If the weather is bad, like it was today and last Monday, then I stay around 50. Lorries then speed up, get close behind, even though they can easily overtake, stick on my tail for awhile, then move over. If they're trying to intimidate me, well, I stopped feeling like that some time ago.I see there are still middle lane hoggers. And the idiots who go haring down the fast lane, OVER the limit. Why? Because they can afford the penalty, or they don't pay it?
I sometimes hate driving, but know I have to do it.
