Re: Middle Lane Hogging
I was trying to join a 2 lane dual carriageway earlier today.
Down the on-ramp picking up speed, I could see 3 trucks in the nearside lane, nose to tail, well under the speed limit (I reckon 30mph in a 60mph zone). And in the second lane, parallel to them, were 3 trucks doing exactly the same with a huge tailback of cars and vans behind.
The nearside ones could not move over, so I came to a halt a good 30 yards from the Give Way line when 2 cars in front of me slammed their anchors on.
Then I saw a truck hurtling down the on ramp towards me... I gulped, but then he stood on his brakes and stopped only a few feet behind me.
That could have been nasty.
