As for undertaking, for your second comment you should be paying FULL attention all the time so it shouldn't be a problem
Ok .. two lane motorway .. stop splitting hairs, but no middle lane.

They need to pass the inside lorries at some stage Entwisi .. don't be so selfish .. only takes a couple of minutes, ok doesn't always work out for them if they hit an incline, and they usually move back into inside lane asap.
I get satisfaction on the M66 letting lorries do this ...worth it for the wink and the flash of lights to say thank you .. like K.S.H. says, all about respect for other drivers, think you should take this on board.

I do try and pay FULL attention at all times, but I am not perfect, make mistakes, but realise that other drivers aren't either, particularly middle lane drivers on a clear road, that is why I attempt to give them a wide berth, and not get so smug.

What's up with you ? You're a really lovely person; do you change behind the wheel ?
