Short week with the bank holiday and all that and only 3 idiots on my travels.
1 and 2 were bikers who couldn’t wait until I had overtaken a truck on the A34 and came through the middle of us as we were doing about 50mph.
Number 3 was a fellow trucker who sat up my arse on the M18, then overtook me on the A1 and used the, ‘I am indicating to tell you I am coming in’ routine and nearly taking the car off my peak in the process. Clowns. 
The bikers deserve all they get…hopefully they’ll soon remove themselves from the UK gene pool (hopefully before they breed).
I’ve had plenty of fools in trucks do the 3rd trick on me this week (most of 'em in tippers or skippers…I have very little respect for most of these twerps)…must be something in the water! 
I am not a biker and i’m not knocking them, but you’d be surprised how many truckers are bikers, i’d say more than 50%
Not ironic but another term not in my vocabulary about riding a lightweight speed machine to a ■■■■■■■■■■ hunk of moving metal

Well I’m one of the 50 plus per cent that chris mentions, Shrek. You’ll be pleased to know that I had a vasectomy last week…
… but I’ve got two grown-up children and three grandchildren , all of whom are brought up better than to make crass remarks like that!

We complain on here when someone tarnishes all LGV drivers with the same brush so should any of us do the same to another group of road users 
The bikers were probably just getting an adrenalin rush. they didn’t affect you, and wouldn’t have injured you if they had gone under your trailer.
why was you doing 50mph while overtaking? don’t go telling me it’s the speed limit or something daft like that.

Correct they didnt affect me, but frightened the ■■■■ out of me when they went through. Wouldnt have affected me if they had gone under my trailer apart from having to stop, wait for the plod, watch them get scraped from under my trailer, probably end up in the police station being interviewed and having to attend coroners court. 
Was doing 50 cause I was going up a hill and the truck in lane 1 was slower.

Clowns!!
Sorry bowser the `your point is’ was aimed at nob k
i’ve only had two idiots this week and both was trucks. the first was on a motorway. mr numbty rejoined the main carriageway from the hard shoulder only doing about 20 mph. the second was a 7.5 ton horse box tried to overtake me on a round about and seemed surprised when my trailer cut in. why do people do these things?
When i see the idiots doing what they do best. it makes me feel good.
The reason being is that i know i am better than that and i can have a chuckle to myself. there’s no point getting excited about it.

That says more about you as a driver than the way the bikers were riding. The shiny glass things on stalks are mirrors, or do you have your curtains covering them?
You should still be aware of what is around you, or are you going to tell us that the bikes were speeding and came from nowhere?

At least you admitted you didnt look for them and hadnt seen them.
these bikers. were they…
lesbian dope heads on mopeds■■?

Yeah I too regularly drive expecting Motorbikes to pass in between me and the vehicle I’m overtaking
Marvellous how you can ask about shiny glass things and yet forget that on a dual carriageway there is only 2 lanes, if your passing a vehicle you DO NOT sit staring at the Mirrors until you have passed FFS Let alone expect an idiot to pass in between whilst your overtaking.
I think you need to start acting like a Driver instead of Pretending to be one, I think I’d be more concerned about having the “Wheelnuts” of the Road passing me instead of Motor Bikers, if your going to be looking in your mirror all the way past another truck OBLIVIOUS to whats going on in front of you.
The Bikers passed in between two vehicles which makes them the Morons NOT the drivers of the vehicles.
How many times has a Motorbike appeared from nowhere simply because they have managed to keep directly behind you out of sight until they come past, hhhhmmm may be thats the Drivers Fault as well for not using his 6th sense?
There’s splitting lanes and there’s splitting lanes. Splitting lanes between two vehicles travelling around 50mph is bad enough, even more so if one or both are HGVs.
Only hearing one side of the story, I can only pass comment on what I’ve heard, which sounds like a pair of muppets doing a stupid manoeuvre.
