Sorry Teribus, but the three lanes are Driving (Inner) Overtaking (Middle) and Overtaking (Outer). I agree, in Germay a lot of these drivers would have real problems and my ex-husband found that driving on the Autobahns was a much more relaxing business because drivers obeyed the rules of the road.

Giok - yes, I know what you mean - I have come across those idiots as well. When there is no chance for a driver to move to the middle lane then one has to slow and look for a chance. However, on some slips onto the M25, as I know from experience, it can be the devil's own job to find a space and then you just have to hope that some kind soul is going to slow enough to let you get on without coming to a total stop at the end of the slip lane. There does need to be more policing on the roads and better driver education.
