Speeding on a motorway

[Minstadave]

They did bring in a fine for middle lane hogging.

About 2 or 3?

There are 2 within a 1/2 mile stretch of M8 motorway alone that I can think of off the top of my head.....

I am sure there are more

Yes that's the one I know of and I count those 2 as one considering it's the same lane that merges on then off, I believe it caused a bit of concern when it was built. I was not joking when I said 2 or 3 for the entire UK motorway system.

still awaiting my summons 4 months later, 106 on M11. Already got 6 points, i am doomed to rot in hell for sure.

I'll do you for undue care and attention

I hate those drivers driving with undue care and attention, they really hold me up!

Same lane?

One is East-bound and the other is West-bound so totally different junctions and different sides of the motorway.

Regardless, I was replying to the:

...You can't have an exit road to the right on our system...

Sorry, you are correct there is one on the other carriageway. I drive past it all the time but only really notice the one on the east bound as I use it from time to time.

You would expect that answer, what's the odds of seeing a right hand exit on a UK motorway when there are only a few for the entire country? I think it's only the two mentioned on the M8 and one other on the M58 unless anyone knows otherwise.

I thought (ie taught by my IAM dad) it was generally acceptable to undertake in non free flowing conditions (i.e heavily conjested) as it is far better to stay in lane to not make the conjestion worse.

However my definition of not free flowing is not speed-dependant- if everyone is limited to 55 (by speed limit or by conditions) in heavily conjested traffic, I'll crawl past the middle lane in the inside lane. My friends don't seem to get that everyone doing 55 isn't normal motorway conditions, they think it off too farfor a queue...

Am I doing a bad?

 

[Minstadave]

It's fine so long as you give the person you're passing on the left a look of absolute disgust at their inability to drive properly.

I find an exaggerated shake of the head, really winds them up

Summoned to court.

No.

because that would be a lie and totally undermine one of the guiding principles of being a cop - Honest/Integrity and a good set of morals.

What you are suggesting would be instant dismissal.

I'm pretty certain most Police will still use discretion. They're not all shiney, squeaky clean people you know. The military are supposed to have integrity, but I've never known a more dishonest, spineless, slippery load of people in my life.

Lies happen all the time. I'm absolutely certain the police will use their discretion (lie) in order to make their job easier. Not saying it's right, just saying it will definitely happen.
