I guess I agree, but do move over to the inside lane if the road ahead is
clear for a few hundred yards. I just don't see the point of having 3 lane
motorways and then the traffic only using the middleand outer lane. Seems
such a waste of tarmac.
Actually, often enough, by moving into the inside lane after overtaking, you
will get a long clear streatch of road ahead, rather than following a string
of traffic in the middle lane with only a few dozen yards of road between
you and the one in front.
