I mean, what's better?
Congested left lane with people driving at 60, middle lane with people driving at 70 and right hand lane for people speeding
Or
Left lane congested with traffic doing 60, middle lane with people constantly slotting into gaps in left lane, dropping down to 60, accelerating to 70 and overtaking in middle lane before dropping back down to 60 again in next slot in left lane.
Am I really way off the mark in saying that it's better to have steady speed lane use than constantly accelerating and decelerating? Obvs only in busy traffic conditions...if there is space in the left lane then there is no excuse. Quite often, on the driving I do on the M25, M2, A14 and A12 it's just solid 55 - 60mph HGVs in the left lane.
