Anyone share my opinion
People who drive at 70mph (the speed limit) in the outside lane regardless to whether the middle and inside lanes are empty, and refuse to drive in the other lanes because thats the speed limit so nobody should have to overtake them........... are ignorant badgers
Or is just me who this winds up
I hate middle laners nearly as much

I hate this too - middle laners that aren't doing 70mph piss me off. I normally make a point of undertaking them then going back into the middle lane sharply.
Fast laners don't bother too much as I'm rarely in it

Im always undertaking in these circumstances, which is perfectly legal as long as you are moving with the flow of traffic

best thing to do (if the mtorway is fairly clear) is to get past them and then pull infront, slow down a little then indicate to the other lane and keep swerving between the two...they get the idea then.
Although dont get caught doing it by the police!!

i know 70 is the limit but i agree, if your going to sit in the fast lane doing 70 and holding up the traffic then you are a cunt.

It is illegal to drive in any lane if the slow (or inner lane) is empty. They are for overtaking only.

When they do it in the middle lane I go up behind them flash a few times if they don't move overtake then pull right back over to slow lane to give an example of what they're supposed to do. Then they usually continue to sit in middle lane.

Happens to me everyday on the M6 coming back from Uni you wonder if they have brains or not. I find undertaking is the best medicine.

The outside lanes are for overtaking and you should only be in them when doing this..If the left or centre lanes are clear you should always be in them....That came from the Police..
