None of my business of course but I would see a doctor , you have the classic symptoms of sleep apnoea. If it is you will feel much better after receiving treatment.

Your manoeuvre (if undertaking) would only prove to be unfounded/'illegal' once the other vehicle had passed the turning point and continued straight on. By which point you would already be past the point of danger of the other vehicle moving into lane 1.
TBH its the same decision making i use locally along a 50mph dual carriageway, with 3 turn right lanes over a 1 mile stretch. I know if the person goes straight to the outside lane they're turning right somewhere, and i continue on my way in lane 1.
Yep, and I do the same and I'm just waiting for the day a copper challenges me on it- glad I'm not the only one. It does make sense as the alternative interpretation is traffic can just be impeded by somebody not following another part of the highway code (the rather explicit , keep left one!). Despite it being legal when done I still don't like passing on the left, I believe it to be pretty vulnerable.

Think I will, I don't get sleepy during the day but yes a few signs I probably shouldn't ignore.

Hope you get it sorted out. If you are referred to the sleep clinic at your local hospital ,they are very good (or at least they were before hospital appointments were cancelled !)

I watch that too. Quest had MotoGP last year and used the BT commentary team which I enjoyed. For some reason ITV4 are only using the video and audio from the trackside was missing completely, I could have been watching electric bikes. Why pay good money for the rights and then treat it so badly

The last two days were lovely and warm but bike wasn't legal. Today the bike is legal and the weather is cold and grey (but I'm still going out).

Watched it last night. The production team needs to be replaced ASAP.
My favourite part is cutting during overtakes to see the reaction of the team manager. Even missed the end of one of the races because, apparently, the pit crew cheering is what we wanted to see.

Yeah, BSB and WSB are the best - MotoGP is in danger of going the way of F1 and getting way too commercial and losing its way.
