Middle Lane Hogging
At last
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-eng...-hertfordshire All we need now is to stop HGV's trying to pass each other on 2 lane motorways |
Re: Middle Lane Hogging
I would ban transit vans and bigger from lanes 3/4, and make them have limiters to 60mph.

Why are people also not using the ruddy indicators... dangerous having to guess sometimes which way they are turning.

Re: Middle Lane Hogging
Signalling is optional ... isnt it ? :angel:

Re: Middle Lane Hogging
It takes over 20 muscles to smile but only 4 to raise the middle finger. :D

Re: Middle Lane Hogging
Signalling is not optional...

Re: Middle Lane Hogging
I think there is a solution to the speed limiter and long overtaking problem.
As we all know, different speed limiters max out at slightly different speeds, vehicles have different masses, they accelerate and decelerate at different rates. Overtaking is the natural wish of the driver not to have to change their inputs to the system (go flat out against the limiter). If you allow tweaking of speed limiters to within a certain tolerance, it won't help either, since then, every lorry has to either be overtaking or driving at the speed of the slowest limited truck. Here's my proposed solution: Time-limited speed boosts. If it were possible to raise the limit of the limiter for the purpose of overtaking, the whole thing could be over within a shorter time, freeing up the middle lane. Of course, you would want to allow enough time for an overtake to occur, and accept that the overtake won't always be completed within that time - but at least when the normal limit kicks back in, decent progress would have been made. |

The slower lorry just has to lift off the accelerator for 5 seconds

Easier and cheaper for the car driver to make time up later, than for the lorry driver to lose momentum and be stuck behind a slower moving vehicle for miles. |
Re: Middle Lane Hogging
nobody wants to slow down. So, a speed boost that un-limits by 10mph and recharges every 40 seconds or so would solve the "but he won't slow down" situation. Unless of course both boost at the same time, but that is still less of an issue than neither ever doing so.
