many people wll be exactly the same as you so don't be embarrassed
the owners hand book for the car wll have some information about running a car on a temporary space saver spare that is from a ford focus owners manual and it contains warnings but does not say that you must leave the motorway at the next exit or you will be flamed on the dibb |

The left lane. Sometimes called lane 1.
Yes, yes, I know that officially there's no "slow lane" on a motorway. But given that the other lanes are used to overtake those in the left-most lane then it means the vehicles in the other lanes must be going faster than those in the left lane. Meaning the slowest traffic will be in the left lane. So the left lane is the "slow lane".

unless it is very busy and you have three lanes of very slow moving traffic and as you approach an exit the people in the slow lane are exiting the motorway so at this point the people in the slow lane could be going a lot faster than the people in the fast lane

I suppose that is possible if the left hand lane is a slip lane, although in my experience the traffic getting off at an exit are usually the slower ones. Technically those in the left hand lane are not supposed to undertake those in the other lanes, not here in the UK anyway.
For the vast majority of the time, the middle and right hand lanes are supposed to only be used to overtake those in the left hand lane. Therefore generally the left hand lane tends to have the slowest traffic.

Rule 268 of the Highway Code states
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’m hoping to settle an argument with DH!
So, on a dual carriageway, coming up to a roundabout, inside lane has an arrow (left or straight on), outer lane arrow says straight on (or right). The lines on the roundabout show two lanes turning left (marked). Can both lanes turn left, or can only the left line turn left? Outside lane can only go straight on? What happens if person in outer lane turns left and the person in left lane goes straight ahead? The road to the left has two lanes. |

if the road markings show left turn in the left hand lane only then that is the lane you should be in to turn left |

So the markings in the left lane say left and straight on. The markings in the right lane say straight on. The issue is the first exit off the roundabout has two lanes. We drive this road every time we go to see DD and he thinks he can turn left from the outer lane, because it’s two lanes turning left. I then say, what if I’m in the left lane going straight on, and someone in outer lane is turning left, into outer lane exiting the roundabout. Honestly, you’ve no idea the grief
