This is the Motorway law :

Lane Discipline

When driving along motorways always remain in the left lane unless you are travelling faster than traffic ahead of you and it is safe to move over to the right lanes. If you use these lanes you must return to the left lane as soon as it is safe to do so.
It is bad practice to try and stay in the overtaking lanes for normal driving. This annoys other users because they can see that you are avoiding the empty lanes on the left, or never using your mirrors to see the tailbacks that you are causing. Remember the two-second rule. Four seconds will give you time to react easily and you will be more relaxed.

Note that it does say to move back into the left hand lane, and you should only be in the other lanes to overtake.

I HATE people who dont use those little orange flashing lights that are stuck on all four corners of the car, some people seem to think everybody is a mysic Meg.
