"Keep left unless overtaking"

[flamy]

Just this past couple of days I've seen all those overhead motorway signs saying "Keep left unless overtaking", usually they don't display anything other than 'spray slow down', or traffic information.

I travel between manchester to liverpool each day (m62) and it's made quite a good change to the flow of traffic

I hope they keep them displayed, I think some of the 'lane squatters' dont even know that they should keep left as they don't really teach you motorway driving whilst learning unless you take an optional course.

Could have sworn it was mentioned in the highway code.

At last, they are finally putting the overhead boards to good use.

I wander if they will now start doing that on all the digi boards instead of leaving them blank, or "Dont drive when tired!".

Most drivers have never read the highway code. The only parts that were needed was the braking distance and the road signs.

I love the way the overhead Screens on the M4 in South Wales are never put to good use, unless football is on at the Millenium stadium, so instead they just put the time at the bottom left of the screen. Most cars and bike have clocks on, the divvys.

Has to be better than the messages I saw...
"Don't Drink and Drive"
...and that was at 7:30am.

What sort of people do they think we are?

People who get pissed and are still over the limit in the morning, perhaps?

They stated trialing this on the M62 sometime last year, it even made the Tv news (probably local variety I don't recall exactly)... Although I only saw it once or twice before the signs returned to the highly useful and informative "Que Ahead" and "Congestion after next Junction" which seem to be turned on at the point where I could walk faster than the traffic and don't really need a sign to tell me "Congestion slow down". In fact it would be nice to actually move so I could actually slow down!

2nd and 3rd lane hoggers is one of personal pet hates and really rubs me up the wrong way!

Cool, should mean just sitting in the middle lane will be even better if everyone else is keeping left.

[mrbluesbox]

They got some on the east lancs too that monitor your speed and tell you to slow down if your going to fast!
