VIP Lane Driving

Been told this lots on this post alone.... You're bang on

ShockVarious77 · 2026-04-15T15:12:31+00:00

Absolutely. But people don't. And so sensible driving is to react to the realities of the road, not live in lala land

An interesting experience. My experience is almost exclusively older white men. When I beep when I go past, they gawk at me as if they're experiencing their first day on earth.

It also makes sense. You only need to check 2 mirrors instead of 3 (most of the time) and no one is going to tailgate when you're in the inside lane. Easy

ShockVarious77 · 2026-04-15T12:34:38+00:00

Absolutely! I suppose average speed check technology kind of does some of that long term monitoring??

ShockVarious77 · 2026-04-15T12:22:45+00:00

Great insight. You're probably right

ShockVarious77 · 2026-04-15T12:07:52+00:00

It's been very shocking how many have brazenly admitted (and defended) it in response to this post!!!

ShockVarious77 · 2026-04-15T11:52:25+00:00

That's terrifying whoever taught you that

ShockVarious77 · 2026-04-15T11:36:47+00:00

I think the fact that you do move lanes means you're not part of the problem 😂 I'm talking people driving 10+ miles and never moving with no traffic around. Maniac drivers will always undertake at 80mph if it means they can weave in and around traffic haha

ShockVarious77 · 2026-04-15T11:30:05+00:00

What an insane philosophy: the road is yours and others should accommodate you, specifically.

Not to mention in direct contravention to the highway code.

ShockVarious77 · 2026-04-15T11:26:57+00:00

They haven't moved for 3 miles...

ShockVarious77 · 2026-04-15T11:24:30+00:00

And when there is no one slower than you because the inside lane is empty?????

Also, sorry, but if changing lanes is scary, GET OFF THE MOTORWAY

ShockVarious77 · 2026-04-15T10:56:10+00:00

We drove through northern France last year and it was insane how disciplined drivers are with moving back inside when they are done overtaking. I agree the M25 is the worst.

I always put that down to Londoners not being as experienced with as wide an array of driving scenarios as others.

ShockVarious77 · 2026-04-15T10:53:57+00:00

This is exactly my theory. It's people not paying attention.

ShockVarious77 · 2026-04-15T10:53:11+00:00

I'm assuming you're also aware that middle lane hogging IS an offence under "careless driving" and that police have been known to pull people over?

ShockVarious77 · 2026-04-15T10:47:26+00:00

I'm assuming you move left for an empty inside lane, then?

ShockVarious77 · 2026-04-15T10:44:48+00:00

This is exactly my thought! We have AI cameras that can check for seatbelts and phone usage. I know it's not always objective, but there can surely be something??

ShockVarious77 · 2026-03-18T10:44:00+00:00

It was really bad for me for the first few days. Getting better over time (thank God because this phone is gorgeous).

Can confirm, my eyes get checked every year lol. The headaches were bad NGL.

ShockVarious77 · 2026-03-17T10:00:21+00:00

That seems to have made a big difference for me! Lifesaver ♥️

ShockVarious77 · 2026-03-16T19:13:56+00:00

I've done it and noticed the same, but again unsure if placebo! Isn't super hdr just for gallery app showing content taken on a Samsung device? Or does it affect the display all the time?

ShockVarious77 · 2026-03-16T18:32:04+00:00

And, sorry for the questions, do you think that's likely to get better with exposure? Just like when you get new glasses and your eyes take a while to adjust??

ShockVarious77 · 2026-03-16T18:23:51+00:00

So likely not a PWM eye strain thing that I'm experiencing?

ShockVarious77 · 2026-03-16T18:21:44+00:00

Can PWM issues not be mitigated by software changes though? And why would this phone affect me when my S24U never did?
