So, at the risk of repeating myself, what do you do when faced with someone doing 50 in the right hand lane?

"Norm" does not mean it is right, nor does it mean flashing lights, sounding horns and hand gestures are not erratic and aggressive driving.
- rather took it to mean that he with the over-sized feet doesn't do the beeping and flashing thing on account of its inefficacy.I undertake a lot tbh, too many people going far too slow in Lane 3, no amount of beeping and flashing moves them so I just undertake usually with the middle finger extended as I pass. Some of us have a life to get to and when they're clearly in no mood to shift left I see no issue with undertaking.
One can only assume his reluctance to be clear upon this, at least to me, rather obvious inconsistency in your argument can be explained only by his spoiling for the fight, sort of thing.as above it is said:I just undertake usually with the middle finger extended as I pass.
Yes, come on, what do you do.So, at the risk of repeating myself, what do you do when faced with someone doing 50 in the right hand lane?
Maybe it's because they get blinded by the headlights? Whatever it is, it is annoying and can be quite dangerous.
Now the dark evenings are here, why do people on unlit roads, I'm talking Stafford to Eccleshall here, feel that they have to suddenly brake when faced by traffic coming in the other direction. On several occasions recently I've been following other vehicles which have braked quite harshly (I'm talking almost to a standstill here) for no apparent reason than that there is something coming the other way. As soon as the oncoming 'danger' has passed they get back up to normal speed until the next one comes along. Weird, frustrating and potentially dangerous.
Usually the ones with poor lane discipline are in the middle, so the outside lane is available. What I experience more is that on a busy motorway, so many BMWs and Audis pile into the outside lane that they make it slower than both lanes 1 and 2.So, at the risk of repeating myself, what do you do when faced with someone doing 50 in the right hand lane?

On the whole undertaking matter.....I regularly have to undertake around Stafford as a significant number of road (ab)users seem incapable of understanding that you keep left on a twin lane dual carriageway (even if you are intending to turn right at the next junction that's a mile ahead!!)...favourite stretches being Queensway, Stone Rd approaching Redhill roundabout, A34 through Stone..... etc
I went to Florida in 2006 and hired a car for the holiday. Undertaking is allowed (as far as I know) in the US and seemed to work perfectly well when I was driving there.

My prefered method is as follows:
Approach lane hog briskly from behind (tip toeing up doesn't alert them as much) and then match their speed at an appropriate distance (not too close) - Wait and see if they 'wake up' and move left......
If they haven't moved then give 1 flash of headlights - not confrontational - alerting to my presence...
If they still haven't moved then drop to inside lane (still behind them), wait a few seconds and see if they react....
If they still haven't moved then undertake fairly quickly.............
I have been known to give the odd hand gesture and I can 100% confirm that this can be completed in a perfectly calm and considered manner without impacting on my concentration or driving..........

Dunno, I'm faced by the same oncoming lights and don't feel the need to slow down to 15 or 20 mph.Maybe it's because they get blinded by the headlights? Whatever it is, it is annoying and can be quite dangerous.
