What is it with Irish registered trucks overtaking on blind bends and in to oncoming traffic forcing them to take evasive action.
I don’t give a monkeys if you are late for a ferry , that’s your problem and not the lorries
that have to stick to 40 mph on a single carriageway in Scotland.
Its my licence and points if an unmarked police car collars me as you don’t know who
who is behind you.
Toot the horn, flash the lights and gesticulating like a monkey as you get past me.
Judging by the skid marks and evidence of lorries going off the road in the ditches and hedges it must be a rubbish road with the mad drivers who can’t drive and crash
I am guessing they are EE drivers and not Irish born drivers by their lack of manners ,road craft and etiquette.
Yawn
Obvious troll.

It is 40mph as it is in Scotland however sit at 48 and you’ll get no bother from the police and Toby keep taking the meds

The only single section A road up Scotland where you can do 50mph in a truck is the A9 section between Perth and Inverness.
Stranraer is how it’s spelt . 
Lots of laybys on the A75 - if your being followed by a bunch of mad irishmen late for their boats can I make the sugestion that you use one of the said laybys to let them past - I mean its not like your in a hurry , your paid by the hour and its seems your wanting to hang the job out - unless you want to make a song and dance about it .
You’ll find the holes in the hedge are mostly there when the 40 mph brigade won’t move over and are trying to hold the rest up - somebody loses their temper and pulls out and side swipes the 40 mile an hour hero into a field - makes it easier for everyone else to get past .Rules and regulations aren’t particularly well accepted by some of the lads on this road and missing boats is as popular as std’s . I travel this road on a regular basis BUT I don’t agree or condone this sort of behaviour - I’m just telling you how it is .
Too many of the 40 brigade seem to be able to hit the limiter on the overtaking sections.
Or even worse pass you just at the end of the gatehouse bank and then sit at 40 all the way to dumfries.
Thanks Beefy.The laybys were full with drivers on breaks .
With a queue of cars behind me I did keep to the left to give them a clear view to overtake me.
To the poster who put yawn,why put that ?
And to the troll comments, I am not a troll.
With the the nutter who nearly put me and the oncomer in to the field ,we both had nowhere to go .
When I was catching ferries , I didn’t try and kill people on the way.
If I missed it, chill out for the next one ,have a relaxed meal and do the laundry.

Gatehouse - that bit of road could do with a load or two of tar on it - rough as a badgers …

+1…that’s about the truth of it…lots are paid on trip money hence the need to get past the rolling roadblock Tosco ■■■■ road commander type.ive been done for 45mph going down the 3lane part into dumfries and also at 66 heading up past twynholm so you are fair game no matter what speed you sit at.if I cant keep up with the pack sometimes as im in a diff truck,then its sit for 2 mins off the boat,and let the Donegal mafia shake the bushes for me…simple,and no probs…there also is the fact that it keeps you amused overtaking on blind bends from the info shouted back from whatever lunatic is on the front door over the cb.(a.m) obviously…makes it a fun trip when theres a queue of 10 or 15 with a place to go… 
Get a grip toby troll if you dont like pull over and cry like a wee ■■■■■.Anyway its fun trying to keep up with some of the boat mafia its more intresting.

I had 20 minutes of trying to keep up with them on friday morning, once i realised 58mph wasnt going to be good enough i pulled over 
I used to have an old volvo. Could only do about 15 up gatehouse, but it would pull at 60 on the flat. Made it handy for keeping up with rest of the motors.
Donegal Mafia indeed. It the wans from the north who are the worst McCulla Hughes Sawyers and their ilk… their motto is Paddy on tour going like a ■■■■■.

Nothing wrong with a bit of whoring n touring
My usual method is to pull in let a few go then follow on letting the brave lead the way .
