Really? Are you sure? I believe that its correct name is 'overtaking lane'. Youll find two on a motorway. People who refer to the 'fast lane' and the 'slow lane' usually hog the middle lane, in my experience.....

Fury at film of motorway crash on YouTube | the Daily Mail

Misserable COW!

woman who was badly injured in a motorway collision last night criticised website YouTube for showing footage of the crash.

Carol Van Heerden was hospitalised for a week after her Mercedes ploughed into a Ford Mondeo broken down in the fast lane of the M55 in Lancashire.

The smash was filmed by an onlooker on the hard shoulder - which led Carol to speculate it may have been caused on purpose. And although police have ruled out any "staging", she claims she was distracted by seeing someone using the camera.
The Woman in the Merc is a Comedienne too! I bet she makes jibes at people in her stand-up shows all the time and she has the ***** to complain about that video being offence.. Stupid fat bitch.

Everyone else was avoiding the car, if she was paying attention she would have seen everyone else braking and swerving.

merc must have good brakes if she was concerntrating and looking ahead even at 90 she would have been able to avoid hitting it.

She was probably looking at the scum on the side of the motorway.

Think! If she was doing 90ish in not the greatest of visibility, then spots some clowns filming at the side of the motorway.... It only takes a second or two.

Glad it wasn't a Scoob though

My take on it is that it was the owner of the broken down car doing the filming.. and he tracked the camera onto the blue merc because he could see it wasn't slowing down or moving over.. and it did what he expected... Ploughed into his car..

Dozy fat bint should of been looking where she was going.

Call me skinny I don't care.

OMG I can't believe it.

I watched the video and there is no way I would have guessed she was only 36!

I wonder if he gives a reply that admits he doesn't know what he's talking about. For an example of such a post, See Here

another look on it,the bloke who broke down is also a tvvat,i mean,who breaks down in the fast lane, ? idiot.

if you conk out,u change lanes in neutral as ur still coastin at 60ish and move to the hard shoulder,u dont just stop in lane 3 !!!

if he broke down in stopped traffic,while its still stopped, when it slowly gets goin,u push the car to hard shoulder

Depends whats happened to the car and what the traffic was like at the time.. And your telling me if you were frapping it down the outside lane and your cambelt let go you'ed be happy to coast accross 2 lanes of fast moving traffic at much slower speeds? OKKKKKKKKKKKK..

What IS interesting to note is that none of the cars that were running in all 3 lanes took any major avoiding action and the car in lane 2 was collected by the merc, so something a bit strange is going on there I think. I wonder if the car in lane 3 had any HWL's on? Hard to tell from the clip. Witness statements will be interesting to read!
