Of course, its not a REAL MG!

1 is the lane you are supposed to occupy if you're not overtaking. You are supposed to overtake incrementally in lanes 2, 3 and 4.

However, most car drivers are ill informed and/or stupid and sit in Lane 3.

So, lane one is the gutter side lane, you'd get killed over here if you stayed in that lane, if the daredevil drivers didn't get you, the trucks would.
Lane 2 is where you drive if you just want to get there in one piece.
The traffic island lane by your description Lane 3, is for BMW drivers, emergency vehicles and for proper overtaking where the driver believes speed limit does not apply to them ....

ALL lanes on a motorway are there to be used.

My #1 & #2 categories for dangerous & idiotic drivers on M-ways are; 1) those overtaking on the inside (its illegal), 2) those automatically pulling into the lane I occupy when they are just a couple of car lengths ahead of me, violating my safe braking zone. At 70mph I need AT LEAST 7 car lengths!

#3 M-way idiots are those who automatically pull into the lane I occupy after overtaking me, when they have no one behind them! Why do they do that? 30 seconds later they pull out again to overtake the next car. This is the bad practice of weaving.

Use M-ways sensibly. Use all lanes, don't try to all occupy the nearside lane, its unnecessary & dangerous. Don't weave in & out of lanes. Don't watch porn, unless you are sitting on the 'hard shoulder' (that's obviously what its for!).

I'm guessing your motorways don't have no stopping signs at regular intervals and short break down sections with an extra lane close to the emergency phone

Stop on the side of an Australia freeway is a guaranteed way to cause an accident ..... with every chance you will be the first one at the scene .....
