Am pretty certain that I’ve passed HGVs/LGVs when they’ve been doing more than 56mph!

I was a bit out, it seems it is 60mph on DCs & M'ways in England & Wales?

I still reckon that many of them get closer to 70mph...
...especially downhill with a following wind...

It doesn't matter what you call it, people will still hog the central lane on three lane motorways. Back when David Cameron was PM there was a campaign which included all the dot matrix signs displaying "Keep Left except when overtaking". Nothing changed even though there is now a law about this.Bluesnose1812 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 31, 2022 8:36 pmPerhaps they should go back to the old naming and whilst they're at it they can call lane 2 an 'overtaking' lane too so that lane 2 hoggers get the message too.Nuclear Nick wrote: ↑Thu Mar 31, 2022 7:49 pmJust for clarity, there isn’t an ‘overtaking’ lane, or even a ‘fast’ lane. Motorway lanes are numbered 1, 2, 3, etc. HGVs are restricted to lanes 1 and 2.

Middle lane hoggers are total cockwombles! It really does annoy and frustrate me!On-Track wrote: ↑Fri Apr 01, 2022 6:44 pmIt doesn't matter what you call it, people will still hog the central lane on three lane motorways.

I can't help myself most times to let let them know..............
Trip back from Lakes yesterday in my S, 24.8mpg before motorway, 30.2mpg at constant 60mph with ACC on. Sort of what I expected
Trip back from Snowdonia a few weeks back to London.
4.1m/kWh. 70% of electricity was free (pod point in Wales where I was staying). Total cost about £7 I think + whatever the coffee cost at Telford SuC.
No hypermiling, just driving normally.
Technically it was completely free (whole journey is within range of car) but I wanted to have about 30% SOC when I got home (can’t charge there)
I used to hypermile in the Macan from time to time. It does enliven otherwise monotonous journeys.

I expect 30 to show at 70+ and a sight more at 60! TBF, never actually tried it on a M'wayn, no caravan in tow I trust!n Overall about what i get though.
