I always remember one thing my driving instructor told me.. Driving is about movement, its not about start and stop.. Why rush up to a queue of traffic at the lights, when you can coast up slowly and if timed right can just drive on without stopping.. Why slam on and accelerate hard in traffic on the motorway or dual carriageway when you can judge others speed and slip in and out of the gaps you have gauged..Yet with the way people are starting to drive more and more now.. this is becoming harder and harder...

Shame really.. Yesterday I was coming from Cheltenham to Peterborough, normally M5,M42, M6, A14, A43,A47... But massive delays on the M6 meant finding an alternative route.. Pulled out the map and carried on up the M42, then across on the A5, around Leicester ring road and down the A47.. Absolute Bliss.. cruising at 60, not too much traffic, noone driving like a tool, even when i came up behind trucks, they would wave you through.. Lost 20 mins on my journey which I thought was fab considering what I would have lost sitting in traffic on the M6, getting wound up by idiots.

Maybe I should use the A roads more...

I'm exactly the same. Panicing to rush and que behind traffic at a roundabout or at a red light is just not the way.

I had another impatient driver behind me today. Surprise surprise, it was a BMW.

I'm a lorry driver and i would seriously advise against undertaking, i do a lot of miles on the motorways of this country and i know how frustrating it is when you come across MLOD but don't forget that on a motorway everyone is instinctively looking in their drivers mirror not the passenger one so it only takes one person to pull back in while your undercutting them and its a multiple pile up, i've seen it happen and its very distressing to witness and please don't undertake lorries unless you have a death wish or a clinically insane, we can only do 56mph on the flat and less uphill but there is NOTHING we can do about it.
I get wound up by bad/inconsiderate/selfish driving, we all do but don't ruin your life or someone elses to save a few minutes.

Why would you be sat in the middle lane at 56 then if there's space on the left?

If the left hand lane is empty, I'm using it. I'm not joining the sheep in the middle or right unnecessarily just because people have no lane discipline or truckers can't use their left mirror.

Trucks move out at junctions to let people out then get undertaken by impatient drivers.
It's your life, just don't ruin someone elses because you need to drive like a tw*t.

Good point actually, yesterday I decided to move out into the middle lane as a busy slip road up ahead, modified Saxo driver decides to try and undertake me. 

Fast lane and middle lane had been clear for some time should he have decided to overtake before.

I just put my foot down a bit and forced him to slow down then come into the middle lane.

An experienced/intelligent driver can influence the cars around him/her without resorting to dangerous/illegal driving which is how the police are trained and also HGV drivers to a much lesser extent, you create a space around you and defend it.

Cos he can't use the correct lane, then gets het up about someone who can.
