Lane hogging
A major source of frustration to drivers using the motorway is when people decide to hog the middle lane. As indicated, it should only be used for overtaking, not for travelling at a constant speed.
There are several reasons why people may choose to stay in the middle lane, even if they know they shouldn't. For example, the road ahead might be clear, making it all the more tempting to stay in a straight line rather than trying to move back into the left-hand lane.
Furthermore, those hogging the middle lane and travelling at 70mph may feel they are doing other motorists a favour by ensuring they, too, are sticking to the required speed limit. Other drivers are not likely to see it in this way, so it is best to let them pass.
