General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

I've never seen a middle-lane hogger responsible for anything dangerous either - I'd put them firmly in the "annoying" category. Once in a while you see someone responding dangerously to someone driving in an annoying but otherwise basically safe way, and I also see this when the "annoying" way people are driving is driving at the speed limit, or waiting for a safe gap to pull into after overtaking, so I don't feel like that can really be blamed on people hogging the middle lane.

They force people into the outside lane and are defacto not paying attetion to anyone else, its driving without due care at least imo, they also are invariably causing a concertina behind them

Sounds annoying to me, rather than dangerous - just like driving unnecessarily slowly.
