Umm, you say in your sig. "only idiots break the speed limit". Are you admitting to being an idiot, then? :hehe:

What if you break down?

If you're in the middle lane it's more difficult to reach the hard shoulder especially if folk are undertaking you. The fact that they shouldn't be is irrelevant, if you're in the middle lane unnecessarily chances are they will.
