Which section of which law, please, I'd like to look > it up. It generally comes under due care and attention as it is required by the highway code. The worst cases come under obstructing the highway. 238: You should drive in the left-hand lane if the road ahead is clear. If you are overtaking a number of slower moving vehicles it may be safer to remain in the centre or outer lanes until the manoeuvre is completed rather than continually changing lanes. Return to the left-hand lane once you have overtaken all the vehicles or if you are delaying traffic behind you. Slow moving or speed restricted vehicles should always remain in the left-hand lane of the carriageway unless overtaking. You MUST NOT drive on the hard shoulder except in an emergency or if directed to do so by signs. MT(E&W)R regs 5, 9 & 16(1)(a) & MT(S)R regs 4, 8 & 14(1)(a) > Ah, foul language again.

Why *is* it some people can't make a point > without using it..? Why do some people get so exercised over it? Don't want to use it, don't use it. Getting your knickers in a twist over it's just a bit silly, though. They're only words, unless _you_ internally make more of them. In this case, they're very appropriate words that describe the perpetrators of such inconsideration rather well.

Especially on busy sections with major junctions. . . Exactly. Somebody who's failing to use a junction correctly. Unless, of course, you're suggesting that other drivers frequently come up behind you on a non-junction stretch, change to the hard shoulder to pass you on the left then try to push you out of L1 into L2?
