point here is your comment of driving in the right lane is quite irrelevant to this situation as in the second video two vehicles were overtaken and it was not correct to get into the left lane to block the car that I could clearly see wanted to overtake from the left. the two lanes merge into one and btw this is not a dual carriageway as there is no central reservation .
Fact is , one relies on the drivers ahead to use their judgement regarding lane discipline and after overtaking the vehicle and bicycle, the van should have done the right thing and allowed the bmw and me to overtake but they hogged the right lane and prevented us to do so. As a general rule I only use a right lane when I'm intending to overtake any car in the left lane otherwise I always drive in the left lane unless I plan I turn right or the road signs dictate this eg approaching a round about. and if I notice a car coming faster than me I'll move over even if I myself am about to overtake. in this instance I could clearly see a car approaching fast in the left lane.
I hope to offend the rf065 for insisting rule 164 which is a motorway only rule applies here when it clearly doesn't. then if he proceeds to name call, I am happy to return the favour. I can sit here and reply all day, this is entertainment for me.
I've had a licence since I was 17 and I'm 42 now. in that time , I've had 1 speeding ticket and never been stopped by the police so whatever you may insist is right or wrong is up to you but I think I've done okay so far.
I see it now. We're all wrong; you're right. Just give up, sunshine...
I'm out.
