    Go on shur, people going from lane 3 to 1 at the last minute to get their exit, how does that have any relation to undertaking?

    You asked a poster to explain how undertaking increases the risk of a collision. I gave an example.

    No you didn't, you said something completely unrelated to undertaking, and clearly can't explain whatever it was you meant

    Just back from Phoenix. Driving on the 6 lane orbital loop every day without issue. Why have 6 lanes if everyone should stay in lane 1?

    People on this thread wouldn’t stand a chance driving there because they can’t or are afraid to use common sense.

    Of all the countries to pick you choose the one that is a developed country but has at least 3 times the road fatalities per capita as Ireland.
    Why set the standard of driving that far lower than Ireland?
    We should try to reduce accidents not bring in a free for all lane system.
    Legally we have a system close to some of the best countries it's just people do not follow the rules.

    I suppose an example of how it would be dangerous would be the assclowns in L2 wouldn't check their left mirror if they decided they need to get into L1 as they hadn't passed anyone as they were playing it safe.
    This might then lead to a crash due to them being absolute assclowns.
    That's one reason.

    Thanks for answering

    I hear this argument all the time but it's never made sense to me

    If the guy in L2 is really just going to swing straight into L1 without checking their mirrors, why would passing them on the right be any safer? What makes us think he will check when going right but not when going left?

    Shame or didn't have a third lane comment, but still says always drive on the left lane, or at least go back into it when donated 'overtaking'.

    I've said it before, you shouldn't be able to undertake if everyone drives properly.

    Do you understand now or is this still too complicated for you?

    For everyone else that's just normal driving.

    Charging lanes is pretty much constant in any city driving especially on a ring road like the M50 or similar. I genuinely just don't get why it's a big deal. The only people I can see it being a hassle for us people in large vehicles which aren't allowed in the 3rd lane, or that will be genuinely caught behind a slow driver. Everyone else will just go around them.

    Then there's the elephant in the room that lane hoggers might not be having a negative impact on congestion.

    I have a thread on this in the parent forum, here, nutshell version is that my view is that you cannot punish people for keeping to the driving lane while rewarding people for middle lane hogging, and then act surprised when - shock of horrors - people drive in the middle lane.

    Dual carriageways especially in Dublin are full of places where it is in your interest as a driver to either stay in the middle lane or "keep right unless undertaking" thanks to stupid road design and lane markings. The two most egregious examples I can think of, though there are probably plenty more, are on the N4 from Palmerston to beyond Leixlip and the M50 from the Northern Cross Route going towards Santry. Nutshell version is that TII seemed to have designed those movements in such a way as to actively encourage a "keep right unless undertaking" attitude. While I can see some 'logic' in the design of the N4 outbound, the M50 Santry access just looks bizarre.

    I think TTI should focus on keeping driving lanes continuous. They should be designed sothat people following the course of the road and in so doing using the driving lane get to keep going without needless yield-and-merge lane changes, instead making exiting/merging traffic and vehicles in right hand lanes yield to them. Then, yes if there are still idiots who misuse the overtaking lane(s) go after them. But middle lane hogs as individuals are only part of the problem.

    I've said it before, you shouldn't be able to undertake if everyone drives properly.
    I was going to post a link to some of those videos the other day. There is a three lane version that was shot on the M50 also on youtube. But, one striking thing about them all is that there are no more than three vehicles in any of them. So, they are purely ideal conditions, not related to every day driving on busy motorways like the M50 or (M/N7)

    So, they simply don't address the typical scenario of where someone stays in the middle lane, eg

    - with loads of traffic entering at junctions

    - light traffic in lane 1, going slower than lane 2, but significant gaps in the lane 1 traffic.

    So, unless the guidance from the RSA actually addresses these scenarios then they're not very helpful imo.

    But that introduces 5 unnecessary manoeuvres for the l1 driver, who is obeying the law, which increases risk, all because the l2 is completely in the wrong.

    4 actually, and 4 separate manoeuvres at that,
    not a swoop across two lanes and a swoop back across two lanes to get back into lane one again .
    Passing on left the may incur a fine for careless driving,
    passing on the right will not , and should not increase risk ,if done properly.

    It is very rare to see lane 1 empty and lanes 2 and 3 full.

    Usually when there are middle lane hoggers, lane 3 is free enough to overtake. Unless there is a lane hogger in lane 3.

    Do you ever drive on the M50?Outside of peak times there are easily 2 or 3 times more traffic in the middle lane than the driving lane, usually doing a max of bang on 100 on their speedo, usually under it,

    Not just the M50 off peak but all other 3 lane motorways and national roads even during peak times with the these roads.
    If you don't drive these roads then of course you won't see the issue.

    Actually, now that I think of it, there was a very good example tonight on my way from Clondalkin to Tallaght. I join the motorway at the Red Cow, woman in a yaris (iirc)joined a couple of hundred meters ahead of me (she came from Naas road outbound, I came from clondalkin) , after about 10 secs in the driving lane at about 95kmh she move out to the middle lane to join behind a row of cars (maybe 10 or 15 stretched out as far as I could see ahead). There were a few cars in the outside lane and just me in the driving lane. Idiots, all of them.

    The nearest car ahead of her was about 50m or more and going slightly faster anyway so she was in no danger if catching it. I kept and eye on her in my mirror and until I started slowing going up the hill on the slip towards the roundabout I was pulling ahead further the whole time.

    Im not apologising for staying where I was at an indicated 105 or so and going past her.

    Every other morning, and off peak no problem overtaking them all, or changing lanes in fast moving traffic.

    I never see lane 1 empty either. It's usually so jammed it's hard to merge on to the motorway..

    Introducing the above five manoeuvres for multiples of drivers in and around the same time in the same localised area of road, not only increases risk it increases traffic congestion.

    This happens all day on all of our motorways, and this is why we have traffic congestion.
    Instead of pumping millions into putting third lanes on roads, let’s trial some paint on tarmac to see how we get on.
    Millions could be spent on public transport instead.

    When I drive home from Cork, I join the M50 at the N7 exit/entrance. There's three lanes, all of them rammed with cars. I have to get to the third lane at some stage as it's the exit for Baldoyle area. I'm getting on that third lane as soon as I can and staying there, rather than waiting until the last minute and trying to force my way on to it at the right time.

    Does that make me a bad person?

    I'd agree with you for what it's worth and as long as you're not holding up other traffic by doing so, you're causing no issue at all.

    Unfortunately there are many drivers out there who are more concerned with the "letter of the law" than adapting their driving to the real-world situation in front of them.

    The M50/N7 is indeed a unique case (in Ireland) in that the sheer volume of traffic and close proximity of exits mean that all lanes become driving lanes most of the time. There's nothing wrong with that, and staying in your lane is certainly preferable to making a lot of unwarranted manoevers among traffic moving at different speeds just to "keep left".

    At off peak times or on the other motorways though absolutely should drivers keep left unless overtaking.

    Actually, on a tangent, with the number of different nationalities living here and who (as far as I know) can just drive away on our roads if from within the EU or UK without taking a test here, those rules and expectations have become increasingly variable depending on what was the norm at home

    Open to correction on the above though.

    Ok 4 lane changes then.(though driving past a car is hardly a manoeuvre )
    So, multiple drivers passing illegally on the left is not only safer, but reduces congestion?
    Now, that is nonsense.

    I would consider it far more important to be aware of the situation around you at all times and to adjust your driving accordingly than blindly following road signs.

    If previous experience has told you that trying to get into right lane is difficult the closer you are to the exit because of heavy traffic, it simply makes sense to do that move earlier. As I said, unless he's holding up others by doing so there's no issue.

    Far better to move over a bit earlier than maybe bring the entire lane to a halt while you try to belatedly get in lane - something I've seen regularly on the M50.

    A lot of drivers still seem to thing the right lane is the "fast" lane.... I often get people flashing their lights at me to move aside while doing 100km (speed limit:100km) on the third lane half a kilometre from the "Malahide" exit lane.

    Then you can see them flying across the two lanes trying to make it to the M1 exit...

    Ok 4 lane changes then.(though driving past a car is hardly a manoeuvre )
    So, multiple drivers passing illegally on the left is not only safer, but reduces congestion?
    Now, that is nonsense.

    Where did I say this?
    I said I have to do 5 manoeuvres as I’m not allowed pass on the left as it’s illegal.
    Please don’t make stuff up to suit yourself.

    People don’t assume this. People agree that these are the rules we’re all using, and a certain degree of predictability and expectability enters the system.

    That doesn't negate the point I'm making.

    Rules can be wrong or out of date or not always inappropriate.

    Hence smart motorways. Where they change the rules depending on conditions.
