This guy is an absolute nutcase for doing what he did, but I’d be lying if I said I haven’t at least had a little urge to give someone a nudge when they’re sat in the overtaking lane in front of me with empty lanes on their left

“a nudge?” on a fucking motorway? JFC peoples misunderstanding of physics is terrfiying.

  Do you think maybe I wasn’t being entirely serious? I’m not a fucking idiot, obviously that could have disastrous consequences

The questionably legal move there is to pull up alongside, match speed and prevent them from moving left. I mean, they weren't going to, so there's no problem whatsoever you being there, right? Why are they sweating?

For middle lane hoggers, the orbit game is the questionably legal response. (Move right, overtake, move left twice, fall back. Repeat. How many times can you do it before they get the message, etc.)

Obligatory disclaimer: If you play silly games, be alert for silly prizes. This applies to you as well as them. Traffic conditions change frequently, and also your nemesis might be more of a nutter than you are (see article's protagonist). Only play if safe to do so. If you are not sure, don't play.
