I think people will get used to it pretty quickly ...it's the only way forward TBH ....they keep building extra lanes and more and more people sit in the outside lane while the rest are just peppered here and there ...total waste of space.21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

Works well in the US but speeds tend to be lower (OK I'm in the north and don't use the M25). I'm waiting for the HA chaps to get the D3's with full surround rubber bumpers so they can push offenders back into the nearside lanes Club RLD spare wheel protection

Club D3 - it's gone

Well I guess we are really.
Seriously though, it remings me of something Clarkson (I think) said a while ago, refering to some of the soulless little tin boxes from the far east.
"People who aren't interested in cars don't care about driving" (or words to that effect.)
That really sums it up for me, because we enjoy / cherish our cars and what makes them tick and lets face it, thats why we all subscribe to this forum, we take more interest and care in the process of actually driving them properly.Clive

While on the subject of indicating, a pet hate of mine is people who start indicating in lane 1 or on the slip road and then just leave it on all the time while they cross all the lanes until they get to the outside lane. Everyone else is just meant to guess that they want to cross 3 lanes.
and another thing.....
People who indicate when there is no space, leave the indicator on forever and the rest of us are meant to guess whether they want to move out or not.... eerrgghh. I should never have read this thread!D3 HSE MY05 Auto
