davidg Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 (edited) This morning was full of middle lane drivers. What the f**k they thinking about? Left the house at 3:10am. Seen about 20 cars in the M8 between here and Glasgow. At least 12 in the middle lane overtaking nobody. One of them doing about 50mph and wouldn't move to the inside for someone towing a trailer. The guy towing the trailer was in the inside lane, moved into the middle lane as he approached the numpty, sat behind him for a bit and they refused to move over. The guy towing the trailer has 3 options and the only legal one is to sit behind the idiot and continue at 50mph. He overtook him on the outside, can't really blame him. Should have breezed past on the inside. Edited June 8, 2017 by davidg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Highway Code says not to do it but the RTA doesn't and it's the RTA that's law, not the Highway Code. The Highway Code is not an Act of Parliament but is issued with the authority of Parliament. Apparently nearside overtaking was an offence prior to the 1972 RTA. Yeh and the guy with the trailer shouldn't be doing more than 50mph anyway . I was behind a guy with a trailer at the weekend and the trailer started to yaw , so l decided to pass the guy as he was obviously doing more than 50mph. .

Towing a trailer has a 60 limit on the Motorway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
