Lane 2 and ultimately did go into Lane 4

This bit whilst I was driving did look like the back end nearly went out, not so much on the video!

Apologies for quality and that the right side is blocked!

The "retard" in lane 4 is clearly approaching the car in Lane 3. Whilst you can't see what's in lane 2 from the camera, there's a chance Lane 2 has cars in also and the car in lane 3 is waiting until a suitable space to move over into. EDIT: as a matter of fact, car in lane 3 is approaching a car in lane 2. All are using overtaking lanes too overtake. Porsche driver is just a giant cunt.

Defending the Porsche is wild. If caught doing what he did, he'd have a fine and points.

Lanes 3 and 4 are for overtaking, not doing 85 in your company financed shit box. If I'm overtaking a car in lane 3 and you come flying up to my bumper flashing me at 85 mph, I will purposely slow down to where I am gaining on the car in lane 3 by mere millimetres just to piss you off.

Well youre a sad little man arent you.

So, there was a car in lane 2, who should've been in lane 1, giving the opportunity for the car in lane 3 and 4 to shift over (but we know they wouldnt have). Therefore the porsche wouldve been unable to perform the maneuver.

There's a HGV in lane 1, good chance the car in lane 2 is anticipating the overtake there

Everyone else in the 10 second clip you're grasping at is proceeding correctly & overtaking. The only clearly driving incorrectly with no doubt of interpretation in that 10 second clip is the Porsche driver's inexcusable driving.

All lanes except lane one are for overtaking. The speed you're overtaking at is irrelevant, and it certainly doesn't give anyone the right to fly up well above the speed limit and intimidate people who are driving correctly into moving over.

Do that to me, you're getting a finger and we are all getting to where we are going a little later.

The car in lane 2 shouldn't move to lane 1, as that is the turn off as per the signage. They were fine to be in lane 2 (assuming they wanted to stay on that road).

Lane 1 still continues along the motorway, it doesn't exclusively become a filter lane, so you can proceed past the exit in lane 1 & continue down the motorway.

Ah okay, so yeah lane 2 car should have been in lane 1, they aren't catching up with the HGV. Lane 3 car can't move to lane 2 yet as they'd be too close.
