Subject: RE: BS: Message to middle-lane sitters on the M6
I'm also sick of people who think you need a visa to visit the inside lanes on motorways... I'll sit in the middle if the traffic is that way inclined, but I always try to move over if I can.

It's a courteous act, moving over to the middle lane when approaching a slip road, but bear in mind, those coming down the slip road do not have right of way. If you cannot move over, THEY are the ones who should be slowing their speed and adjusting for traffic - the rules still state that you should give way to vehicles on the right, and that includes when joining carriageways.

Sometimes I wonder if half the drivers on the road have even seen a copy of the Highway Code, let alone read it.
