supercmaxer Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 I certainly don't make a habit of under taking but when I feel it's safe to do so I do but again as said its defo not worth the risk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ianb Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I don't undertake on a middle lane hogger, I always go from the inside lane all the way to lane 3 then back again and make a habit of doing it obviously enough for them to realise they're driving like a tool.. However there has been instances where I've driven on a dual carriageway and someone has been doing 65 in the outside lane... I guess it was a law break twice, flashing which is illegal no? And undertaking... Sent via carrier pigeon using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MONDEO TXS 2.2 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 No it isn't. Flashing headlights has only one meaning & that is to warn others of your presence, in a similar way to the use of one's horn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeebowhite Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I must admit, I am a left laner. I tend to cruise at 60 down the motorways, heck, I even overtake lorries just sat on cruise at 60, as long as traffic isnt heavy, otherwise I tend to accelerate to 70 and then move back in to cruise. However, Marks interpretations are correct to my knowledge. Common sense must apply when it comes to undertaking. I do undertake on occasion.If I have a middle lane hogger, and an outside lane hogger sitting next to each other, and there is no traffic in lane one, I will sit in lane one, flash, give him ten seconds or so, and if he hasnt moved, I tend to undertake and move on. I flash my lights when people are idiots, and clearly dont know where you are, and I will undertake when there is a good reason. I refuse to sit on a motorway restricted to 60 miles an hour because two or three plebs are restricting traffic flow in the outside lanes, whilst the inside is treat as sacred ground to not be touched. If I ever get tugged, I would explain my reasoning, and if I face a consequence so be it. But I would certainly be asking the question of "and so, what about those who are obstructing the highway?" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ianb Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Sit at 60 for fuel purposes? I can't stand going 60 when I know I've got a few more mph to squeeze out of the law... Sent via carrier pigeon using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Haha, I respect my wallet too much. Generally speaking got the fuel costs down from about 200 to about 130 this month. Getting about 56 to 70 mpg by cruising. Seriously mate, it works lol and I have had my brush with blue lights for speeding I would rather get my money's worth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Should have the same rules as USA, under take , overtake, pick any lane you like really as long as you don't exceed speed limit. Works well over there, do enjoy driving over there, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeebowhite Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Trust me it gets boring, but when the money stays in the bank and I have a few more quid to throw at the car it's worth it. Vest I achieved to date was about 850 miles on one tank I'm hoping a terraclean service later this year might turn that more into the average than the best lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting about 56 to 70 mpg by cruising. Seriously mate, it works lol and I have had my brush with blue lights for speeding I would rather get my money's worth Yeah I can definitely see how cruising at 60 would save a lot of fuel. Coming back from London a few months ago I got about 48 mpg just because about half of it was cruising at 50 through the roadworks, but I always cruise at 70 otherwise. Should have the same rules as USA, under take , overtake, pick any lane you like really as long as you don't exceed speed limit. Works well over there, do enjoy driving over there, That sounds like a good idea, but I wonder if they have any more accidents caused by undertaking. Maybe if they're used to sticking in one lane, and always aware that cars can come from any side then it's ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theredfox Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 does terraclean really work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Yes. Plenty of guys on the forum have had it done, best results I saw was a guy who used his car for pizza delivery and got about 33%improvement in mpg. Others see a good 15 to 20% improvement on average.
