Simples then you will have one of them IDIOTS change to the lane to the left of them hit you and then sue you cause the rules say overtake on the right even though they had been changed AND THEY HAD NEVER BEEN TESTED ON THEM!!!! You will never win.

[quote=bazzachazza;62991732]It shouldn't be a case of is it practical. You should know this stuff from the start. QUOTE] Yes but clearly more than just a minority dont. Therefore the existing expectation is unrealistic.

But even the Feckin trucks hardly use the inside either. Most of them on the M50 come straight on and over to the middle lane It's not just the Irish ones either, even the UK / Continental trucks are middle lane muppets.

lane one is the one on the left!

Its a pity that noone outside this thread knows that there even are rules of the road. Will be driving the full length of the N7 from Naas to Limerick this Friday again, will let you know how I fare!

just wondering is it legal (if im in lane 1) to undertake cars in lane 2 if they are doing say 50-60 mph and im doing slightly more in lane 1? or should i technically move out to lane 3 and overtake?
