its not just the 5 mins saving its the fact that if you cant get far enough down in your 1st stint,you cant make the south coast boats in your 2nd stint if theres any holdups.
coming off the boat on a clear night then you can make the moss in 1 hour 46 mins or thereabouts.
sitting at 40mph you would be taking your 1st 45 in carlisle getting your mirrors refitted.
if you miss your ferry on flowers work heading in or out then the done thing for some is to run from the hook down to calais,cross over then drive back up through the night non stop to make sure your in a similar position to where you would have been had you made the boat so you can go straight for the holyhead,or cairnryan ferry and do your drops off the card before heading back out for the hull/killinghome boats again,so time is critical if you get delays.
earpiece man wasnt overtaking the cars,so he could have been not so bull minded and let the cloggy in as it is obvious he would have been passing the cars asap .
the 100 mile radius rdc mob that robroy are on about will not comprehend the difference in this type of work that suits some and not others.
