Interesting thread...
I tow my trailer up to an indicated 70mph. But I know my speedo over-reads. An indicated 70 is just over 60...
To be honest, I don't have a problem with keeping the speed down while towing. In fact, I find it far more relaxing than not towing and hammering along with the other maniacs!
As for moving into the middle lane from the left, no problem. Motorway driving (come to that, any driving) is about observation and anticipation. If you are catching the vehicle in front, check your mirror well in advance and if you can't get into the lane ease off until you can, rather than hammering up to one in front and then standing on the brakes. If you want to move into the middle lane and someone is in that lane, check the right hand lane to see if they can move into it. If they can, indicate, and if they are co-operative they'll move over. If they are anticipating properly, they should see that you will shortly want to overtake and be prepared for it...
Wouldn't it be nice if all drivers were considerate to one another?
