Down my way there appears to be a far bigger chapter called the MLHA, aka the Middle Lane Hoggers Association.

Had one of those on a totally clear motorway - trundling along at 60mph...quite scary that people like this are out there driving.

Have I been wrong all these years about lanes 1, 2 and 3 being left to right in that order, or did you mean lane 1 was empty?

Lane 1 had some trucks trundling along... The OLOG was only barely faster than them.

I was patient for a minute or two, just in case he knew how to use his mirrors, but no...

I thought the other group, (as the Late Terry Wogan used to say) was CLOG?

allowing for the real differences between readings and actual speeds, I would think he was probably doing about58-59 mph..

And as usual the other day, we had the in and out weavers club boys on the A12 doing their thingat high speeds.

Not necessarily. Consider a motorway with a CLOGger doing 60 in the middle lane. The legal driver will change lanes to go round them and then change lanes again to go back to the original lane they were in. Another may decide to stay in the inside lane and undertake the CLOGger, thus not hopping lanes at all.

Not a problem in the USA -

There is (or was) a more valid reason for it over there. Some urban freeways (NYC anyhow) have exits on left or right, which makes life very difficult for visitors unfamiliar with the system. As exits can be quite close together, you really need to know which side of the freeway to exit from. Trying that system here makes the mind boggle.

I usually go into the outside lane to overtake the MLHs but am confused as to wether it is legal to undertake them. I've heard it said by MLHs that as they were doing 70 mph anyone going past them is speeding, however the Highway Code I believe states keep left.
