A picture of a car 'hogging' the motorway middle lane at 5am has kicked off a row online. The picture, taken by Dave Harford, shows a car in the middle lane on the M5 seemingly completely alone, with no other vehicles anywhere to be seen.
Frustrated by the white BMW driver, Dave took to Twitter to complain, raging that drivers should keep to the left. After kicking off a battle online between sympathizers and critics of the driver, Dave explained the vehicle - doing around 50mph - had been in the middle lane for over a mile.
He said that it was an example of similar cases he sees on a daily basis and called lane hogging 'illegal' as it forces cars to enter the outside lane to overtake. Dave, 43, from Worcester, added: "Traffic was behind this vehicle and said traffic had to move to lane 3 to go past him - causing more risk.
