It should be made illegal to not move left on the motorway.
I do a lot of driving on the M25. I frequently see lines of traffic in the outer two lanes stretching for a mile or more, whilst the inner two are almost empty. It's nearly always because some prick up front has decided that it's his right to never be overtaken, regardless of how slowly he wishes to drive.

This prick will nearly always mouth off if he subsequently gets undertaken. I really fail to see why people can't understand that if they get undertaken it's because they're in the wrong fucking lane. If there's enough space for a car to pull in, drive past you in the wrong lane and pull back out in front of you without causing an accident it's because you're going too fucking slowly in a lane you clearly shouldn't be in.

Rant, rant, grumble, gripe.

Or, some people undertake even if the fast lane is doing 80-90
These people are cunts (or ambulance drivers).

Well, yeah, that's a little excessive
but the point remains that whoever's in the outside lane is driving along with nothing on the inside of them. Regardless of how fast they're going, they are supposed to move over.

I completely agree
And often point and glare at fast/middle-lane hoggers until they move over (if I'm not driving, of course).

I'll often come up fast on the nearside of them
pull right across behind them into the outside, give them a flash of the lights as I cross behind them, then pull right back over onto the inside again. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Most of them time, though, I'll just undertake. Or pull alongside and glare at them through their passenger-side window.

So, quite the aggressive driver then?
If someone drives up behind me flashing their lights, I slow down by about 2 mph for every flash. There's no need for it.

But then I don't hog lanes, I always move over.

I can be, yeah
only in retaliation to total stupidity, however. I won't charge up behind somebody in the outside lane flashing my lights and hanging off their bumper or anything. I'll give them space and plenty of time to move over. If they refuse to, and it's easy to see when somebody looks in their rear view mirror to see I'm there, then they've started being a cock first.

I hate that when you're in the fast lane
and you're going as fast as the traffic in front will let you but an angry BMW driver comes up behind and starts driving right up your arse before getting all stroppy and undertaking, it's so infuriating.

Yeah, that is prickish
Where does he expect you to go?

I run into a lot of that on country roads. Somebody slow in front of me, no room to overtake and some buttmonkey of a white van man trying to drive straight up my exhaust.

This!
It's usually a BMW or Audi driver, the complete cock-munches.

you should do that thing where you see how many laps you can do of their car
before they start swearing at you

I do that, if the traffic's light
My max has been three though.

I try to piroutte when I come
so I get white streaks on all of my furniture, so it looks like it's going really fast like in cartoons

I don't have a car right now
but when I'm on my pushbike I sometimes like to rev my handlebars and go 'brrrruuuuuum' like Tetsuo from Akira

If someone is hogging the middle lane and the motorway is empty
I like to drive up quite close to them in the left hand lane, then make a big show of crossing the two lanes to overtake them before swerving back into the lefthand lane. Every single one I've done this to always sheepishly moves back in again pretty quickly

I try doing that
but only get a 50% success rate. People in Surrey must be stubborn.

or they haven't noticed you at all
I was in a carpark once behind this old fool and he just stopped in the middle and sat there chatting to his wife. I didn't want to be rude so I flashed my lights at him a few times, but he didn't see so eventually I had to beep my horn. He jumped out of his skin and looked really surprised to see me there, he obviously wasn't using his mirror at all.

Same goes for old people on country roads driving at sight seeing speeds and not taking any consideration to the people stuck behind them who are trying to get to work

Some doddering old bastard in a Chrysler
cut me up on three separate occasions on the same strip of road the other night, purely from being utterly unaware that I was even there.

As far I'm concerned, they're by far the most dangerous people on the road. At least lane-weavers are aware of where other cars are, even if they don't give a shit about road manners.

yeah I overtook someone on a country road on a corner when I could see it was empty
but because he didn't see know I was there, as I got nearly alongside him he started to seriously cut the corner and only swerved back into his side when I beeped at him. He looked so scared to see another car alongside him that he speeded up, leaving me seconds to really put my foot down to get back in to the left before an oncoming car ploughed into me. I was so close to stopping the car in front of him to get out and shout at him for being a cunt, it scared the bejesus out of me.
