Middle lane drivers (when it's deserted).

You're in the inside lane approaching a sliproad onto the motorway. Several cars are accelerating down the sliproad to join your lane. To make it easier, you indicate to move right and give them space. Idiot in the middle lane sees what you're doing. He's slightly behind but not enough for you to safely pull in front of him? But does he slow down? No, he's either oblivious to the road in front of him, or there's no way he's going to let off the gas ever so slightly, to make enough space for you to pull out.

It takes cooperation to make these roads work.

I think you're making an assumption there mate. Anyone driving like that is almost certainly wearing a bra.

1) People who pull into lane 2 when they approach a sliproad.
2) People who can't be bothered to slot into a gap when they come off a sliproad and expect others to do a 1).

The middle lane retards. What part of 'you should always drive in the left lane unless overtaking' is so difficult to understand?

HGVs with governors set to 0.22mph faster than the one in front so they feel they have to pull into the middle lane and take 5 miles to pass so causing congestion behind them as anyone capable of doing more than 56.22mph has to squeeze past in the fast lane.

The M6 south of Manchester seem a particular favorite spot for this.
