    I do indeed because I have no time to slow down to 90 kmh and sit there waiting for a truck to do a 91kmh overtake on a 100 kmh road.

    But 100km/h would be either M50 which had 3 lanes, so trucks can actually overtake using middle lane, or just regular double-carriage way where trucks are allowed to overtake.

    Yes, trucks CAN overtake using the middle lane. Whether they do or not is a totally different question though.

    I've seen them in lane 2 many's a time. Can't recall seeing one in 3. Perhaps I have but can't remember it.

    They're not out there every day though lad

    Never seen a truck on M50 most right lane, but doesn't mean much as I'm there only few times a year.

    When you use the M50 to commute at rush hour every day you will see a totally different story :D

    Why are you in the middle lane? Should you not be in the left lane? Middle Lane Hoggers are the main reason this threat was created? No?

    Ok, maybe my lack of knowledge but I always thought it was for people who were exiting at the next exit

    No, you drive on the left-most lane and only go into the middle lane when you want to overtake someone in the left-most lane. Once you have finished the overtake you go back into the left-most lane.

    If you want to overtake someone on the middle lane you move into the right-most lane (if on a 3 lane road), overtake and move back into the middle lane. If you are not overtaking anyone on the left-most lane then you move back into the left-most lane.

    Yes it does. It tells me that there are a lot of people who think that the rules don't apply to them

    I actually thought maybe you were joking. I think you definitely need to read the rules of the road. You are actually the cause of the undertaking.

    I've only ever seen two lanes on the M4, which one is the middle?

    People speeding is non of your business, unless you are driving a Garda car.
