When travelling along a motorway and gaining on a cunt in the middle lane with no reason to be, what's your course of action?

One of my pet hates on the roads.

undertak or overtake and cut right in front of them without indicating, if they have kids in the car then make the cut up even more severe

Usually flash my lights and get up their arse continental style.

Works about 70% of the time in getting them to move over.

Youve only really got 2 options, Overtake on the left or overtake on the right.

never undertake, its a very dangerous and stupid thing to do.

normally just overtake or drive right up their ass if im having a bad day.

overtake in the normal lane. find most middle lane hoggers look terrified of motorways so no point giving them more fear.

not stupid really, if youre in the inside doing 70ish and someones in the middle going slower its safer to go on the inside than swerve across 3 lanes and back in again

I drop back a fair bit, then take a huge run up and smash them off the road, then pull up get out of my car, drag them out of the burning wreck, demand they give me their families names and address, toss them back in the burning wreck to die. Then set about murdering their entire family.




















Thats what i do in my head anyway. usually just got over to the right and do an exaggerated swerve back into the left hand lane infront of them.

depends on my mood... usually goes like so...

first 1 or 2 i will overtake normally and cut back across all 3 lanes,

next few will be flashed (occasionally works only for them to pull straight back out once im passed - this usually makes my blood boil)

so from then on its undertake.

Last night heading up from Manchester on the M6, dark night and no one to be seen. I gain on two cars, a 61 plate Merc in the middle lane doing 75/80 and an Aygo in the outside lane absolutely screaming trying to get past (obviously sluggling). I sat behind the Merc in an attempt to get them to move over, and no recognition. If he had moved over, then the Aygo would be able to slowly overtake in the middle lane but instead he's being a cunt and staying in the middle lane without a car to be seen in the inside lane.

In undertook the pair of them while trying to display my confusion/anger and also put hazards on whilst ahead of the Merc (who also had his fogs on for no reason) and still stayed put. Really fucks me off!

I love your opinion that underaking is very dangerous and stupid but driving right up their arse at high speeds is perfectly fine

Nice long flash. If that doesn't work drive towards them and try to get them out of the way. If that fails I'll go found and pull sharply across back into lane 1. Then drive off wishing that traffic cops and the law allowed these pricks to be pulled over and given an instant 3 points and £60 fine.

Follow them home and stand infront of their front door so they can't get in

Sit behind them until they move, or sit in the next lane but don't undercut wait until they move.

I have often done circles around the central lane hoggers until they get the hint!

Bit stupid I know. Now I just overtake and mutter to myself.
