What is "hogging the middle lane"? I thought that was the whole point of the middle lane -- for when you wanna just drive the speed limit or w/e. There are other lanes for passing and/or entering/exiting.
― #fomo that's the motto (Hurting 2), Tuesday, 10 September 2013 13:59 (twelve years ago)
yeah hogging the passing lane is the real crime

i do support immediate execution for chilling in the passing lane and tailgating tho
Who wouldn't be proud to be British after creating that macro?
― pplains, Tuesday, 10 September 2013 14:02 (twelve years ago)
can't see the macro at work but the middle lane on UK motorways is a passing lane and only the worst subhuman beasts drive along it all day like it wasn't
― Cap'n Save-a-Co. (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 10 September 2013 14:04 (twelve years ago)
whats the left lane for then
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 10 September 2013 14:05 (twelve years ago)
You mean the right lane.
― pplains, Tuesday, 10 September 2013 14:05 (twelve years ago)
o shit
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 10 September 2013 14:06 (twelve years ago)
the left lane is the lane to drive in if it's clear in front of you. the other two lanes are both for over-taking depending on speed and volume of traffic. there's a habit amongst terrible drivers of joining the motorway, heading straight for the middle lane and then sitting there til they leave the motorway, even when the left hand lane is clear as far as the eye can see. it forces people into the fast lane because you can only overtake to the right.
― Cap'n Save-a-Co. (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 10 September 2013 14:07 (twelve years ago)
does the middle lane refer to the middle of the 3 in each direction, or the two middle in the center of the six total?
― how's life, Tuesday, 10 September 2013 14:08 (twelve years ago)
doesnt seem like the best use of space to have two passing lanes and then one where everyone is supposed to cruise and enter/exit thats prob why yr empire crumbled
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 10 September 2013 14:08 (twelve years ago)
Maybe UK driving is just different (I mean aside from the obvious right vs. left) -- in the US the right lane is the one all the entry and exit ramps feed into, so it really makes no sense to stay in that lane because you constantly have to slow down for people entering and exiting. Hence the middle lane is for driving and the left lane is for passing.
― #fomo that's the motto (Hurting 2), Tuesday, 10 September 2013 14:10 (twelve years ago)
driving is shit. there should be no lanes.
― Neanderthal, Tuesday, 10 September 2013 14:10 (twelve years ago)
middle lane = middle of 3 in each direction
i assume in general the distance between our motorway off-ramps is greater than the distance between yr highway off-ramps

OUTER LANE (closest to shoulder) - For merging onto the freeway; slow drivers wearing formal headwear; big slow trucks.
CENTER (CENTRE) LANE - For most motorists, so they don't have to keep bouncing between outer and center lane whenever an old man in a hat begins merging from an on-ramp.
INNER LANE (closest to the median) - People in a hurry; Knight Rider; Cops

srsly tho youre trying to put most of the traffic in one lane when you have three why, you dont need two lanes for passing
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 10 September 2013 14:13 (twelve years ago)
at most points on the motorway the system works out as 3 lanes of traffic moving at increasing speed as you go to the right - except most of the time at least one of the lanes will be blocked off and there'll be traffic signals and speed limits in force - but there are big swathes of motorway where there's nobody in front of you for a couple of miles even in the left hand lane

distance between off-ramps on motorways as an average must be 8 or 9 miles
