It’s Not Foggy 2 (another driving niggle)

Why don’t Aussie seem to think there is a third lane on the freeway. They amass as a solid line in the middle lane and hassle you if you are going 10ks over the speed limit in the right hand lane (fast lane) but the left (slow) lane will be empty. I don’t get it.

I must admit it can be very nice to pull into the left, put on cruise control and sail past all the frustrated drivers in the other lanes, but I wish they would learn to use all three lanes.

My favourites are the little oldies, hunched over the steering wheel, plainly afraid to change lane, but they sit in the middle lane, going 90 watching all the other car zip past them.

PS. In Australia it is in fact illegal to sit in the middle lane if the left lane is free, but it is not illegal to over take on the left (undertaking;-)
