Talk Talk, was the inside lane going faster than you? If so, I'd be inraged aswell.
I hate middle lane drivers.

Over the past few years it seems to have become the norm on motorways that if someone is in front of you and you want them to move then you get right up behind them and flash your lights.....this really pisses me off so I just show them a bit of break light and slow down which pisses them off even more...and then laugh when they get past !!

Despite not driving I do have some of my own driver annoyances, is it normal for people not to bother indicating when there are no other cars about?
I believe learners are now taught that if no other road users are around indication is not necessary - don't know why, using indication should be an automatic reflex, not a decision making process, and it's not going to wear the things out or contribute to the fight on global warming (sorry TT) is it ?

best thing to do when someone is driving up close flashing their lights is to quickly flash your foglights, they will think you are breaking without the risk of slowing thus they back off! Works a dream

I say if you have the chance to move over, you should move over. Thats probably why they are flashing you.

Never heard that before, my missus is learning to drive at the moment, and she's not been told that. Even it no-one is about I still indicate, like you say, it's a reflex, and it feels wrong somehow if I don't indicate! If I had a superpower it would be the ability to let peoples tyres down if they don't indicate when i'm waiting to pull out.

Exactly. I've always said if there's enough room to be undertaken, there's enough room to move in. Some people sit in the middle lane because they can see they need to go past the lorry 1 mile down the road. That fucks me off and causes me to undertake. Except a few weeks ago I under took aggressively, then looked over to give the finger only to be greeted with a smile from Mr Plod in his unmarked BMW.

Wouldn't that just make all complaints you have about the idiot worthless - you deflating the tyres means they'll be there, in a place you don't want them to be, for a longer amount of time.
Why not get under the car, loosen the hand brake and roll it to the other end of the car park?
Just a thought i had.
Possibly, but then I don't usually come dressed to get under a car and the sterring lock may make the process a tad more complex - the point is that they may well be there longer but the reason they parked there is because they were too lazy to find a proper space and wanted to save time; by deflating their tyres the perceived advantage they gained by parking in a disabled bay has gone as they have to re-inflate (and possibly find a new valve for) the tyre...

People should be aware of the highwaycode- move to the left at the earliest opportunity.

Which I do. I'm talking about the impatient cunts that do it when there's no chance to move back over to the left.

Get back in the loser lane loser!  On Nevs point, I took the Institute of Advanced Motorists driving course in Devizes in 1985 when run by the Wiltshire constabulary as my brother in law was the then Police instructor for defensive driving techniques. I was taught to not indicate when turning if it will not affect any other road user OR pedestrians, so if there is no one around after surveying the turn or manoeuvre whether in a car or on foot that will be affected by your actions then there is no need to indicate....even though through force of habit as Ginghino say I still do.
