If someone is doing 70 in the middle lane and there is traffic behind, why should he pull over? Unless it's an emergency vehicle.
Because there is more often traffic in the nearside lane doing less than 70, which would result in the driver doing 70 having to pull in and out more often.If someone is doing 70 in the middle lane and there is traffic behind, why should he pull over? Unless it's an emergency vehicle.
Unless he's overtaking, why shouldn't he?
No matter what the highway code may advise this has to be more dangerous than sitting in the middle lane at 70.
The said lorry then takes about 3 miles to pass the one on the inside and the motorway has been reduced to 2 lanes because of roadworks meaning you can't move out and overtake him!
It's a case of "I'm doing the speed limit, f*ck everyone else". They're the dangerous ones.

Not as dangerous as travelling at 70mph in the middle lane, passing lorries in the inner lane travelling at 60mph and then, just as you are approaching the rear end of one, he pulls out without indicating less than 6 feet in front of you causing you to slam on your brakes because someone is going past you in the outside lane at 75mph!

I took the details of the lorry, (registration, company name, time, place etc), and phoned up when I got home. Company wasn't interested as they said all their drivers were self employed and G8 Nationals!

That's me. But I ain't dangerous, it's the cnts that want to drive at madarze speeds who are dangerous.
