Rant number 52
Todays rant is quite specific to the motorway (merely as this is the only place you get three lanes.)
So what is my problem today?
Fuckers who perpetually hog the middle lane.
To explain this to those of you out there who don't drive (or (and I really hope there are none among my friends) those of you who do drive on the motorway and are guilty of this most terribly of sins) I will start at the beginning.
On a motorway there are three lanes. The left, the middle and the right. THEY ARE NOT DESIGNED TO BE SLOW, FASTER, FASTEST. That just how they tend to work.
The way that the motorway should be used as such is:
Left hand lane - for any vehicle at all up to 70 miles an hour.
Should this lane be inhabited in front of you by a vehicle going at less than this speed, you move to the middle lane - which is intended for vehicles in the process of overtaking those on the left.
The right hand lane then - is - you guessed it, for vehicles passing those in the proceeding two lanes.
Whether through a lack of education on their usage or through pig ignorance, people don't drive like this however. As such, for the most part, those who want to go slow stay on the left, those who want to fast go on the right and those who want to sit for eternity sit in the middle.
The this is OK on a busy motorway, but on an almost empty one, nothing is worth than people who sit in the middle lane - often at around 65mph - as if their fucking car will explode if the speedo actually hits 70 (and if I may just point out, the speedo will be naturally set under - so 70 will not even be bloody 70.)
This forces people who try and driver properly to also sit in this lane, because it is acceptable to undertake them from the left. All in all, the whole thing is a bloody mess and people just need to stop it.
Today - I overtook someone doing 63mph on the 3rd lane over on a 4 lane section of the motorway.
What the fuck is that about? You are not being a safer driver, you are just being a penis!
The middle lane is for overtaking, as is the right, try and drive properly out there people!
Rant over.
