I notice so many of these now!....you knw the huge grooves formed on the slow lanes.
Main ones being on the A12, and some on the M25 too.

They throw you about all over the place that I'm having to stay in the middle lane to avoid them!
Anyone else had this?

M3 to Bracknell is bad - especially on smooth tyres in the rain

Yep, I've found those too. The ones that come to mind are on the M25, pretty evil.

M27 Eastbound, just as you go under the M275 flyover. The car tramlines like you wouldn't believe - almost snatching the wheel from your hand.

M25 approaching the M4 and M4 - awful truly awful.

I find myself being a middle lane hogger rather than be pingponged between the lines. Never noticed them til I got the S though, although Chris's Clio gets thrown about even more !

They fill up with water when it pisses down, the shiny tar can be interesting!

Still, since the self-preening politicos have got the idea into their pointless (apart from the top bit!) little heads that proper road maintenance is bad for the proles, we'd better get used to it, I suppose.
