Agreed batrums was a ■■■■■■ although being a tescos motor was there really any point in overtaking with their two runs a day, cushy 9 to 5 number with zero deadlines and zero stress involved in their job??
But even after all of this I’m failing to see why there would be a long tailback in lane 2… Ohhhhh wait, I know why, because the average British motorist can’t check their mirrors without braking simultaneously and dare not go out in lane 3 (the fast lane to any car drivers reading this) so they just sit there in lane 2 (thats the middle lane… the one you love) and moan that two lorries are overtaking each other. But to be fair they do try their best, what with them resting their fingers on the indicator stork waiting for that precise moment to flick it DURING the manoeuvre and not a second before.
Sometimes you just can’t pull out into the THIRD lane cos it’s jam packed with cars and there is no safe gap
Well that’s just plain bad driving if you can’t do that. How about looking 800 yards ahead seeing two lorries side by side and a bit of forward planning and matching your speed to the speed in lane 3 then merging out causing no one else to brake or adjust their speed??
Only the Oirish can do that if the cars in the 3rd lane are doing 70 
If u can’t get passed don’t pull out to overtake Simples!
Tesco ■■■■■■ why try overtaking when your limited to 80kph.
If I had to slow down every time some numptey try’s to overtake me I wouldn’t get much done.

Nice to see someone knows what to do…+1
Tescos bettered themselves today; One double decker near Weston Super Mare doing 40mph tops on the M5.

Am I the only one thinking that hgv drivers today seem to have lost all sense of proportion, even if the ‘overtaking’ truck does get by, what real world advantage will have been gained by doing so, in a country the size of a small australian farm?, driving along in a speed limited vehicle, limited to 9 hours a day, even if the numbnut doing the ‘overtaking’ can permanently maintain the speed differential all 9 hours, which in britain is impossible, at the end of the day the overtaken ‘slower’ vehicle would have arrived behind the ‘faster’ vehicle before the driver will have filled in his journey sheet, in the meantime all motorways are reduced to hgv rolling roadblocks, as these ‘dumbos’ show off their elephant racing skills to every other road user group, professional drivers?.
Your logic is wrong though in my opinion, as if everyone just sat behind the slower truck then you would just get a long line of HGVs in lane 1 the length of the country causing much more congestion further down the line rather than just 2 trucks overtaking.
All that needs to be done is when being overtaken if quite slowly is just knock it back and let him go, it’s so easy.
FB I don’t have a problem with any hgv overtaking another hgv where the speed differential is worthy of the name, where it differs by little more than fractions of a mile per hour its completely pointless, and such behaviour does nothing but confirm to all other road users that hgv’s are driven by selfish morons, drivers overtaking me dont require me to knock off a few clicks as I run my night trunk at 50 mph, with a tractor capable of walloping the 56 mph limit if need be, I simply refuse point blank to take part in ‘elephant’ racing, those that do need to be taught lessons in mathmatics.
Oh Sorry, i must of got the wrong end of the stick, i thought you was saying that HGVs shouldnt be overtaking one an other full stop. My mistake!!

+1 you have hit the nail on the head, most people are “in a hurry to get no where nowadays” be it car drivers, lgv drivers or whatever, people need to calm down and get there alive.
