Honestly, over the past few days, I've had several drivers drift to the right into my lane on dual carriageways or motorways just as I'm starting to approach and go past them. They just aren't looking in their mirrors, and most of them just seem to be half asleep and let their wheels drift across the lane line into mine before I have to honk them to tell them to gtfo back into theirs. Happened again today on the M11. I was in the slow lane and this car drifted into mine as I was starting to approach him (either accidentally or he wanted to get into my lane, not sure) before he realised and pulled back into his lane. As I went past and looked over to him he did actually put his hand up apologetically. But others I've honked and looked over to are just completely oblivious. Also, I'm amazed just how many drivers I decide to give way to on streets that simply drive past with no acnowledgement of thanks. So ignorant. Don't get me started on tailgating either, particularly white van man. All I can say is, they sure like to maintain their reputation.
 
You were in the "slow" lane and you were going past someone? I hope you were in a traffic jam

I had just recently come on to the M11 from the slip road. A little way on, the car in the middle lane started coming across into mine without being aware he was starting to cut across me and could have hit me if he hadn't pulled back in. He wasn't aware I was there.

Probably texting or rolling a fag. I drove up to Leeds this week and had a van in the middle lane wobbling all over the place, went past him and surprise surprise he's looking down at his phone.

Yeah, a woman on the phone without a handsfree was one of the recent people that did that to me.
 
You are aware you shouldnt be going through on the inside? Or even getting close to doing so?

No idea what you're on about tbh. It's very simple, I'm on the left doing well under the speed limit, and he's in the middle lane coming over on a collision course with me. I honk him, he gets back into his lane. He apologises.
