    That's an assumption.

    Its an emergency lane to be used in an emergency, not to pull into in order to allow someone who doesn't have the patience/ability or performance to overtake safely.

    If someone chooses to travel at 80km/h then they are welcome too, similarly if the person behind wants to travel at 160km/h they are welcome too, as long as they don't put me in danger.

    Back on your roof there boy.
    I usually move over if there's space to do so - except if I'm being tailgated. In which case I engage full on knob mode, and slow down gradually.

    I don't mind, most people are accommodating enough so it's not something I view as a major problem, but I'm blessed with mostly motorway on my commute.
    On the way home I take the backroad, Limerick, Broadford, Tulla and so on.
    That's mostly very tiny roads but 99% of the time it's grand, very little problems.
    I have to say people have improved massively over the last 10 years, what with better testing and the worst of the old bastards retiring and no longer driving.
    When I was on the road every day you could just tell an old bastard from miles away.
    He would wait till you're almost on top of him and at the last possible split second pull out with a 1989 1.1 Fiesta and a cattlebox with three bulls in it and proceed to straddle the center line whilst doing 30 km/h.
    Then there was the self-appointed road warrior, ambling along at 60 km/h, usually some non-descript Jap sh*te box but as soon as I'd overtake them, 3rd gear, pedal to the metal, moving out to block me and following me for a few miles beeping and flashing. Thank God mostly 1.4 liter wheezy slowpokes, so no match for even my oilburner.
    As long as people don't pull that kind of sh*t, I'm not too bothered. As long as they don't drive arsehole slow and specifically block me from overtaking, I consider them a decent enough driver.

    Myself, I don't mind, I get out of the way if I can, too many people in Ireland see it as a challenge to their (tiny) manhood and somehow have a desire to dictate speed and hold people up.
