BMW rant

*rant on*

OK, so as I've got older I've tended not to race around too much or blast up and down the motorway as much, now prefering to keep an eye on te mpg rather than the mph, but there are occassions when the need to be a bit quicker (shall we say) arise. Today was in a bit of a hurry to get home, so why is it that BMW drivers just wont move out of the outside lane of the motorway. OK, so some beemers will be way quicker than me, in which case just Censored off up the road and let me get on with it, but if not, just F******* move over as the big blue D4 in your mirrors wants to come past, and I can get well north of 70 much faster than you think.

*rant off*

unfortunately this is not just a BMW issue... I can't believe the number of people who will hog the middle lane (or lane 3 on the M25 where they have widened to 4 lanes)....

... rather than having the dot matrix displays say don't drive tired, etc why not get everyone to drive on the left, unless overtaking!

Lane hogs are a pain in the Censored particularly when they cause you problems when you are driving within the limits, by far the worse are the 55-60mph in the middle lane ones, however if you are in a hurry and perhaps want to exceed the speed limit its might be seen as bit rich to complain about others breaking the law, because they are stoping you from doing so.

Strangely enough that is what the Highway Code requires.....

Yeah ... But who reads that? Whistle

At least they were "there" and didn't pull in front of you doing 60 whilst you were tripping along at 90.

Try on unrestricted 2 lane Mways in Germany. You're driving along doing the usual 60mph, fast lane clear, boost it up to 75mph to get round a convoy or trucks sitting nose to tail, fast lane still clear so move out. That's when the lunatics doing double my speed come stonking up to my bumper and try and use the force to make you move out of the way, space or not. Sheer madness, almost as bad as Polish motorway drivers and makes the French & Italians look good.

Right, anyone I haven't insulted? Laughing Laughing

Not sure I'd want the motorways cluttered up with learners, unless you ban them from all bar Lane 1. Whistle

In that case I should apologise for the insult but then I am English so the Scots are fair game too. Rolling with laughter
