Flaperon for PM!
Don't drive much in Manchester if I can avoid it, mainly giving kids lifts to stuff (cycle to work down canal into MCR) rarely complete a short trip in car without seeing cars ignoring red lights or someone on phone and/or speeding. Had someone overtake me in a 30 a few weeks ago they went wrong side of traffic island, little fiesta 4 up with teenage lads. If you could earn money for reporting phone drivers I'd he retired in Whistler right now. Pavement parking - Jesus every day I think wow that's the worst parking I've ever seen right on bend or double parked or all 4 wheels on pavement and almost everyday I see something worse it's like people in my area are practicing for the world bellending championships.
"Depends on the circs but it might be okay… Highway Code Rule 268
Do not overtake on the left or move to a lane on your left to overtake. In congested conditions, where adjacent lanes of traffic are moving at similar speeds, traffic in left-hand lanes may sometimes be moving faster than traffic to the right. In these conditions you may keep up with the traffic in your lane even if this means passing traffic in the lane to your right. Do not weave in and out of lanes to overtake."
I was on the M1 going south yesterday on a section with 4 lanes between junctions 15 and 14. There was a traffic officer in lane 1 so all the idiots hogging lane 3 slow down even further below the speed limit. I was in lane 2 passing the officer in lane 1 and the idiots in lane 3, still under the speed limit. Any reaction from the officer? Nope, not a flicker.
Can’t understand why some people hug the gutter and invite other drivers to make risky overtakes against oncoming traffic.
I hug the gutter because the idiots are going to be idiots anyway & I'd rather give them a better chance of not coming into contact with anyone else.
school of thought (certainly on a bike) is to make it obvious they're going to have to use the other lane and not squeeze past with wheels just about on the white line - anything that makes them think for a moment has to be good, no?

To be honest that's not a school of thought I sign up to bike or no bike, only time I do "hold my lane" is passing through pinch points when there really isn't any room to pass, I prefer to keep people sweet so they don't feel the need for punishment passes/aggressive driving.
