Lidl Mount Pleasant forces an additional aisle pass. I do it on one of the middle aisles to ensure I dont miss some junk I dont need.

When you’re happily bimbling along in the fast lane, happily going past the other cars, but you know, gradually, fast…but not crazy fast. Then someone comes up your arse, so to speak, clearly wanting to go much faster than you. Fair enough…maybe you haven’t been on multiple speed awareness courses. You may pass, I shall pull over. Feel free to scream off in the distance at far more than the speed limit. They pass. **** me…they now don’t want to go fast at all! They actually want to go 1 mph slower than your cruise control was previously set at. ****s Revoke their licenses…and tag them to not allow them near motorways even as passengers
People bumbling along in the fast lane for miles instead of pulling in to the middle lane like they should. Especially when this means you must end up undertaking them which again you shouldn’t.
You could do a whole thread on motorway gear grinding. The places are full of simpletons. I used to get really wound up by them and would find myself engaging in all kinds of battles with them. Not any more, learnt to let them zoom off or just over take them and leave them in the middle lane of an empty motorway. It's probably due to the amount of mushrooms I'm taking. I've never been so calm about things.
I did this to a black skoda somewhere just near Northampton on the M1 during lockdown tines. I was taking boxes of player kit down to the club I worked at. It was an unmarked copper!! Never seen such a sight. Having pulled me over he approached with a walking stick! Took my keys and buggered off. Next thing I was surrounded by marked cars and a very attractive female officer at my window. She emptied my boxes all over the slip road hard shoulder and seemed upset it was just shorts and t-shirts. Long story short my car looked like a county lines car they'd been looking for and because I'd not notified my insurance company when I put a private plate on they thought I was him on false plates. Walking stick boy let me go without charge once he heard me phone my insurance company and even had a joke with me when I suggested the reason he didn't do me for 'dangerous driving' was because he was in the wrong sitting in lane 3. They're generally OK when you're ok with them but it didn't stop me getting a panic on when they surrounded me!!
Agreed Although I seem to think I’d read it was actually ok to undertake nowadays. Maybe I’m wrong. I’ll try and dig the article out some time
“Undertaking is also acceptable on motorways where average speed limits are in operation. Along these stretches of motorways, overhead gantries will often advise vehicles to ‘stay in lane’. If the lane a driver is in is moving faster than other lanes, it may be safer to pass a car travelling below the average speed limit on the right. This is safer than weaving in and out of the traffic.” https://www.carleasing.co.uk/news/what-is-undertaking-is-it-illegal
Only acceptable in certain situations then. So I can tell the wife I am quite justified in mouthing ****er to those I am undertaking in the fast lane even though I am doing under 70 mph and to stop her tutting.
No one admits to being an average driver with a partial understanding of motorway driving laws and making occasional mistakes.
I make Reginald Molehusband, before he got it right, look good. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
I also ****ing hate driving. What a boring activity. I do it as a functional thing to get from a to b, but can’t understand anyone who actually enjoys it. Train every time if it’s a practical option
