Highway Code Advice
There seems to be nothing that divides opinion quite so much as the rights, or wrongs of drivers who hog the centre lane of motorways. The Highway Code advises that we should always move over to the inside lane when we have completed an overtaking manoeuvre, but how often do you see this happen?
The police are of the opinion that drivers who hog the centre lane are a cause of accidents because they invoke jams behind “their rolling road block” creating frustration to the drivers following, indeed the police have invented a phrase for them, Centre Lane Owners Group. On the other hand there are those that will say that it is more dangerous to constantly weave in and out between the inside and centre lane and sometimes get jammed in between two HGV’s when the centre lane is nose to tail with vehicles. Common sense should always prevail when driving a motor vehicle and that is equally important when using our motorways.

when you have overtaken if you move to the inside lane is this the one next to the central reserve (center = inside) or the outside lane adjacent to the hard shoulder. after all how can the inside lane be on the outside of a carriagway. rather confusing isnt it. A little like the highway code?
