I've been doing a fair amount of weekend driving along the A3 between SW London and the edges of Surrey (many of my daughter's cricket and football fixtures are somewhere along this road) and the number of Middle Lane Owners Club drivers has definitely got 10 times worse in the last year or so.
If you feel it's magically safer for yourself to just sit in the middle lane please consider getting some more training or just handing your license in. Whatever reasons you have for doing it just remember that the majority of road users who know how to drive properly think you're a lazy useless selfish cunt.
By sitting in the middle lane you think you're doing nothing wrong and only increasing your own safety but you're massively decreasing the safety for everyone who now only has one lane to overtake you.
(I'm not sure whether it's laziness or the Dunning-Kruger effect.)
