How come I always get the seat behind the one selfish b*****d who likes to recline theirs?

I then just go out my way to kick, push and knock it so often its not worth it for them and they revert back.

The second action cancels out the first. As she was well aware of the annoyance it causes, ignorance cannot be used as an excuse.
She's just another selfish a$$hole.
Alas, the world is full of them. I blame Maggie Thatcher

We are all to blame for putting up with it.

People who don't photocopy the last sheet in the drawer of a blank document that's needed everyday before they use the last one. It's just sheer laziness and very infuriating.

Took me a couple of reads to get what you meant, HC. I've got you now.
It is infuriating. I used put the last sheet in a clear sleeve marked 'master copy' in the hope that even folk at the foot of the IQ league would understand that they should make copies of this final sheet.
Likewise, people who open the last pack of photocopying paper and don't organise ordering more at that time. (Same applies to the ordering of all items that are in constant demand.)

I'm not one of them but why does this bother you? You've got a lane to just go passed them?

Seriously? When I am doing 70 in the inside lane, to prevent undertaking them I have to move across 2 lanes to overtake and then get back to the inside. Plus they are breaking the law and are clueless as to how to drive correctly on a motorway and it is dangerous!

It's not undertaking if the inside lane is travelling faster than the middle lane.

It's still wrong and there is no way I am undertaking some one who clearly has no road awareness.

In which case you should have some fun and educate them at the same time. Play "Rodeo Drive" and see how many times you can lasso them. Simply pass on the right, over to lane 1, let them pass, then repeat!

Keep to the left and leave the other lanes clear for faster moving traffic, obviously doesn't apply to very much of the so called motorway network in this country.

This is why its important

Rule 264

You should always drive in the left-hand lane when the road ahead is clear. If you are overtaking a number of slower-moving vehicles, you should return to the left-hand lane as soon as you are safely past. Slow-moving or speed-restricted vehicles should always remain in the left-hand lane of the carriageway unless overtaking. You MUST NOT drive on the hard shoulder except in an emergency or if directed to do so by the police, traffic officers in uniform or by signs.


Rule 265

The right-hand lane of a motorway with three or more lanes MUST NOT be used (except in prescribed circumstances) if you are driving

• any vehicle drawing a trailer
• a goods vehicle with a maximum laden weight exceeding 3.5 tonnes but not exceeding 7.5 tonnes, which is required to be fitted with a speed limiter
• a goods vehicle with a maximum laden weight exceeding 7.5 tonnes
• a passenger vehicle with a maximum laden weight exceeding 7.5 tonnes constructed or adapted to carry more than eight seated passengers in addition to the driver
• a passenger vehicle with a maximum laden weight not exceeding 7.5 tonnes which is constructed or adapted to carry more than eight seated passengers in addition to the driver, which is required to be fitted with a speed limiter.

On the M6 again yesterday, some folk are absolutely clueless. One clown got off the M74 at Abington and took the slip road back on to M74 instead of the A702 he wanted so he reversed up the slip road into the roundabout oncoming traffic!
