My strategy for dealing with the M1 when it's heavy going...
Get in Lane 1 (it's not the slow lane!!), go at 60-65mph and stay there. You can usually undertake a couple of dozen lane-hogging idiots in lanes 2 and 3 before coming up behind a lorry, at which point you slip into lane 2 and then straight back to lane 1.
As long as you're going under 70, and the traffic is very heavy, by my reading of the Highway Code you are 'moving in queues' and therefore not breaking any rules by passing cars on the inside.
Works for me anyway!

Thats what I do but I think it is illegal
unless you are passing a 'convoy'. It would be interesting to see it argued in court (I'm
not volunteering
